I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson in May 2015
Interview
Initially I received a call from a member of their recruiting team. Was then set up on a phone interview with the hiring manager. Following those interviews, I was then scheduled to interview (virtually, as a Google hangout) with two seperate teams. This particular role would be split between two departments. The process took place over the span of a month or so. Though the hiring manager had expressed extreme interest, I never received any sort of follow up after the third interview with the teams. Very unprofessional.

Question 1
Typical and expected questions...how my experience related to the position, etc.
The interview process was based on a single interview round where it was checked my knowledge of the company, my knowledge and skills in Project Management and how I would deal with certain scenarios.

Interview
Good — Short process, no homework or product sense. People are friendly. Softball interview questions.
Bad — POOR BALANCE: Must wake up early, early even for eastern time. POOR TIME MANAGEMENT: Interviewers were late and did not leave any time for my questions. LACK OF MORALS: Struggled to demonstrate that they “do the right thing”, plus many microaggressions. LACK OF DIVERSITY: Everyone who interviewed me was of the same gender and race.

Question 1
"What is the role as you understand it? What experiences from your background align best with this role?”
On the face of it, this is a fine question. However, the tone in which the executive asked it was too direct. Asking this before my self-introduction, not even 30 seconds after meeting me was rude. It made me feel like a ‘resource’ or a piece of cattle. Not a human being.

Interview
I applied via the website and received an interview email two weeks later. Had an interview that lasted about 30 mins, and thought it went pretty well. Answered all the questions. But did not get the offer.
