I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IXL Learning in Dec 2016
Interview
Initial phone interview, and then asked to submit a portfolio of my work along with a content creation exercise. I was told to expect the content exercise to take 3 hours, but it probably took only an hour. (I've read other reviews that said it took longer, but I think it depends on your level of familiarity with content creation for an edtech company). I then had a follow-up interview with two members of the curriculum team. The first interview was walking through actual content creation. The second interview was a brainteaser.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you design a problem around adding fractions?
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.
