I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson in Mar 2016
Interview
I've got referral, and I was interviewed around March of 2016 for summer internship that year. The on-site interview consisted of 4 rounds: technical, behavioral, tour, and assessment. I've accepted the offer the very next day of the interview because I had pending offer from another company, and I preferred Pearson VUE.

Many java specific questions in the technical round. The assessment round had some straightforward string manipulation and duplicate checking questions. Behavioral interview was with the managers where they ask you brain teasers, future plan, and your opinion and interests.
