      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Pearson in Feb 2026

      Interview

      There were 3 rounds in total, all rounds went really well, the Interviewers were really good and kind. However, after going through the complete process they rejected me in the end, and after several outreach emails to request a feedback I did not receive any feedback nor any response. Basically after investing ~ 1-2 months I was ghosted. Truly disappointed on the company.
