McGraw Hill interview questions

Initial HR interview - ask generic questions about the role and use AI to take notes. This had to be rescheduled a few times. 2nd interview with hiring manager 3rd interview - role play and presentation with questions with 2 x managers and team member 4th final round - didn’t get to this stage This was the worst interview experience. The interviews themselves were fine. It was how I was treated as a human being. I had actually applied for the same role a few years ago and after the final stage I was told ‘they no longer had the budget’ to offer the role. The 2nd time I applied they brought me back in and even apologised for my previous experience, however after my 3rd interview radio silence. So I contacted them requesting an update and they said they would update as soon as possible but another week and a half went by and nothing. I had to chase twice for an update. To then receive an automated rejection email after weeks of silence, no feedback, nothing. So disappointing but clearly a reflection of the type of company they are!

I passed the screening round, which was an async video submitted to the recruiter. I was then invited to the next round, but they didn’t provide any details about the hiring process, what to expect, or the interview format. They said they would send the interview link shortly, but never did. I had to follow up myself, and only received the link a few minutes before the interview started. I was expecting behavioural questions since there was no mention of a technical round. However, I was asked to do live coding for a React problem and also design a near real-time system for a teacher dashboard. One of the interviewers came across as unfriendly and didn’t provide any feedback during the session. After the interview, it took 2 weeks for the company to send the rejection email finally, although even if they wanted to proceed by that time I already got an offer
