I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Pearson (Alhambra, CA) in Nov 2025
Interview
There was an initial interview with the HR recruiter then the manager of the site. They were extremely transparent about explaining the high-stakes nature of the work, what to expect when working, and making sure the job is truly a good fit. It was more explanation than interview, which I appreciated.
There was a glaring absence of professionalism on HR’s part. HR reached out for my availability, which I responded immediately. Then nothing, no response, no update. Months later, I got a generic rejection. HR clearly lacks organization and respect for candidates’ time. A disorganized and careless process.
