      They asked about my background and gave me a simple troubleshooting question to answer. It was a relatively smooth process all around. They also provided me with information about the role

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson

      Interview

      The interview process was straight forward; the usual technical aptitude questions and standard people skills questions. The Hiring process, however, took what seemed like forever. They do a thorough background check and this process can take a very long time.

      Technical Support Specialist Interview

      Anonymous employee
      Rancho Cordova, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson (Rancho Cordova, CA) in Apr 2015

      Interview

      The interview process now consists of two assessment tests and a personality test before they will interview you. After applying for the position, I was called for a phone interview within a week. A few days later, I was called for an in-person interview. The supervisors who interviewed me were very good and the questions were focused on the job; nothing extraneous or irrelevant. At the time the company was owned by Pearson, not Vista Equity Partners, so it could be different now.

      How to make coffee, step by step.
