I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IXL Learning (San Mateo, CA) in Mar 2017
Interview
Pleasant, but odd interview. Long pauses with awkward silence--possibly taking notes? Interviewed with someone in San Mateo even though the job opening was in Raleigh. Interviewer used a pseudonym. Had difficulty scheduling an interview because they were not available after 2 p.m. Despite using IXL in my classroom and having curriculum design and educational publishing experience, I received an automated rejection two days later. I agree with the other posters who question their legitimacy. I also wonder about age discrimination. I could check every box in the "What We're Looking For" list, but I am over 50 years old. Glad I was rejected early on before investing more of my time. Skeptical about their apparent exponential growth.
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.
