I applied online. I interviewed at IXL Learning in Apr 2017
Interview
Found the job posting on Indeed and submitted resume with targeted cover letter. Got a phone interview request within a week. The phone interview went well, I thought, and made a connection with the interviewer and discussed challenges faced in public education and how technology can be used as a tool. The interviewer let me know that they would get in touch with the hiring manager and have me do a homework assignment. After the phone interview, I sent a thank you note to the recruiter/coordinator and let them know that I was excited to continue on with the process and potentially do a homework assignment. Silence for three to four months. I thought I got lost in the shuffle, but behold an email came in from the recruiter/coordinator after I had already accepted a job. Too late, too little, and very strange to say the least.

Question 1
What’s a recent project where had to find a creative solution to a problem?
A bit rushed; didn't give feedback which is always annoying; felt a bit random with how they rejected, but didn't get the logic puzzle so that could be why; format was a behavioral question, how to improve the website, logic puzzle
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at IXL Learning
Interview
Interview was pretty standard, but they completely ghosted me after the second round. Its fine if you are rejecting me, but I find it unprofessional and a bad candidate experience to not hear back whatsoever.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at IXL Learning (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2025
Interview
The process was unnecessarily long and utterly disorganized. I applied for a Product Manager role but was unexpectedly down-leveled to an Associate PM position without explanation. The recruiter took two to three weeks to respond between each step, which made the entire process drag on for over a month.
The first round was a conversational interview with PM, followed by a lengthy take-home assignment that required deep product analysis and writing. After submitting thoughtful, detailed work, I received a generic rejection email with no feedback.
For a company focused on learning and improvement, the lack of transparency, feedback, and respect for candidate time was disappointing. The process felt more like a test of endurance than a genuine evaluation of product thinking. A great mission doesn’t excuse a poor interview experience.
