Interview
The interviews themselves were okay. Pretty standard, I would say. I had two phone interviews and then was invited to an on-site interview. The on-site visit consisted of 5 one-on-one interviews, which was exhausting, but overall, I felt they went well. I was told I would hear back within 1 week. Then, I waited and waited and waited. I contacted the recruiter every week, each time she said that there were no new updates to share. Then, 4 weeks after my on-site interview, I was finally given a brief email saying that I did not get the job (with a few typos in the mix, as well..). They need to show that they value their candidates' time. Telling me that I will hear within a week and then making me wait a month is really unprofessional. I would rather have gotten a firm no much earlier in the process than wait a month, being unsure of whether or not I will receive an offer. Please speed the process along for future candidates.

Question 1
They asked a brain teaser.... Yes. An education company asked a brain teaser. I decided to ignore this irony for the purposes of the interview.

Interview
Everyone was friendly in the interview process, however, it was a long process from start to finish. Initial interview with a recruiter, then a phone interview with hiring manager. After that, they will offer an in person interview typically.

Interview
I interviewed with a member of the product management team. There wasn't a brain teaser. Questions are more leaning towards previous experience, projects, and how you would approach a design.

Interview
I had an interview, they asked the typical interview questions and the same jelly bean riddle that everyone else said. Then I had to do a design assignment, which I had a week to complete. It was actually a bit of work and took me about the whole week to complete, with the fact that I'm a student with a part time job.
