I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IXL Learning
Interview
An online application followed by a Hackerrank coding challenge. The challenge was rather easy to complete. I passed all checks, but was sent a scripted rejected letter after a couple days. Very frustrating that they don't let candidates understand the space and time complexity requirements they are looking for. That's a very basic and standard feature of these Hackerrank challenges, that should be a part of the test cases.

Question 1
Why are you interested in working in EdTech at a company like IXL?
I had an in-person technical interview with one of the engineers and was asked a few questions about myself and why I wanted to work at IXL before starting the coding portion.
resume screen, 45 min technical, recruiter call, onsite with 3 technicals.
my first tech screen was really good and i had a really collaborative and chill interviewer, but my onsite was absolutely terrible. they pulled out LC hards and one of them didn't even know the solution to it and was searching things up during the interview. my last interviewer was an engineering lead who wasn't even trying to follow my code. i would explain something and she wouldn't say anything, and then 5 mins later ask me if i considered something when i literally just explained it. it was clear she wasn't even trying to listen.
