I applied online. I interviewed at IXL Learning in Nov 2016
Interview
Phone call shortly after application. Interview included 'why I think I would be a good fit, why I want the job', followed by problem solving discussion. After I 'passed' the phone interview, I was given a written assignment to complete. I put a lot of work into it, and I'm a little suspicious of there seriousness on hiring people for science-it seems like they have had this 'opening' for close to a year.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General background questions, then a few 'brain teaser'/problem solving.
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.
