I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IXL Learning (Raleigh, NC) in July 2016
Interview
Got a phone interview within a week of submitting a cover letter, which the website says is optional, but it is not. Interviewer spent a lot of time pressing me on the design of their website, which is not my area of expertise. I was also asked how I would develop a set of questions to test a student on a specific math concept. Finally, I was asked to work on a sample assignment. Overall, the interview lasted just under 30 minutes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is something you would change about our website?
Pretty straightforward. The recruiter will call you and ask some pre-screening question then you will be asked to complete a task within a week. The task consists of grammatical correction, alignment and information clarity.
Had a phone screening which went well, followed by a work product. The instructions on the work product were overall very vague, and took a lot of guessing/assuming what they were looking for. It took me about 5 hours total, and I received a rejection email stating that no feedback would be given and with no further explanation.
The interview consisted of a recruiter call. Then a 2nd call. Then a remote meeting via zoom where I was drilled with questions that didn't seem to math the role I applied for. Zero emotions shown. No smiles.
