      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at K12

      Interview

      First I had to answer four extensive questions in a written format to pre-screen for an interview. Next, during a screening interview, I met with four individuals by phone during a tag-team session. During the final interview round I met with two individuals in person at the site where I applied. The questions from both interviews were identical. At the end of the process, despite the hours I spent speaking with staff, writing responses, and preparing to meet, the only courtesy the company afforded me was an automated email that stated, "We regret to inform you the position has been filled." It did NOT state any appreciation for my time or effort, any reference to keeping my resume on file for future openings despite being a final round candidate, or any kind of personalized message indicating that they had met and spoke with me personally -- it was robotic. I was also never contacted by any sort of human resources individual or recruiter from the company, so I had no one to speak to update me on progress or answer questions. It was a very cold and impersonal process; I found the person-to-person contact to be canned and the final contact to be unprofessional. Furthermore, there was a discrepancy in position revealed during the process where high-level management defined the position in a completely different way than mid-level management. Frankly put, the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing. I would not choose to apply to this organization again.

      Interview
