I had some great informational interviews with Duo employees prior to this process; people were really welcoming. Following a 15-minute screening call with HR and a short hiring task I was asked for a second interview with someone in the Learning and Curriculum team. I was not informed by HR that this would be a technical interview and that I should prepare for new questions. Unfortunately, while I prepared for some followup questions about my hiring task, I mostly prepared for a general past experience/cultural fit interview. The second interview was roughly 30 minutes of new tasks along with some open-ended followup questions about my hiring task. It was clear from the questions and from my interviewer's hesitancy to help me out with answering them that the hiring team was looking for someone with strong prior experience in ed tech and unfortunately I would have needed some training in order to be brought onboard for the role. I received a boilerplate rejection within a week or so. The HR team did not respond to my request for feedback.
