I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at IXL Learning in Dec 2016
Interview
They asked me about my background, told me about the role, and then asked a couple of questions about how I would improve the website, and then asked how I would make a problem for third graders harder or easier, and some questions about design for automated grading.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: What's something you might maybe improve about the website?
Q: How would you make this question for third graders easier? Harder?
Q: What are some issues with grading this type of question?
Pretty straightforward. The recruiter will call you and ask some pre-screening question then you will be asked to complete a task within a week. The task consists of grammatical correction, alignment and information clarity.
Had a phone screening which went well, followed by a work product. The instructions on the work product were overall very vague, and took a lot of guessing/assuming what they were looking for. It took me about 5 hours total, and I received a rejection email stating that no feedback would be given and with no further explanation.
The interview consisted of a recruiter call. Then a 2nd call. Then a remote meeting via zoom where I was drilled with questions that didn't seem to math the role I applied for. Zero emotions shown. No smiles.
