The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IXL Learning (New York, NY)
Interview
After the first phone screen, you are asked to work on a take home assignment which is very vague and time consuming. The take home assignment is something that should be done by a full time employee and to do it properly is going to take you weeks. After submitting the assignment heard back from them in a week. No feedback was given. I wonder what they are doing with all the take home assignments!

I applied online. I interviewed at IXL Learning (San Mateo, CA)
Interview
Long process, onsite especially was ridiculously long with 6 back to back interviews with different people. Interview with PM -> take home case -> take home case review interview with PM -> full day onsite. Multiple recruiter calls to check in between rounds. Although everyone was very nice and culture seems great, overall unpleasant experience because of how long it was + multiple logistic mistakes by HR that dragged out the process. Can definitely tell they care a lot about their talent pipeline especially for APM and they are very picky for this role (role is open for almost a full year, last APM cohort was just 3 people). Easiest parts of the interviews were logic puzzles and behaviorals. Hardest: asked LC questions in technical interview with engineer during onsite which caught me off guard
Had a quick 30 min interview followed by a take home assessment and was asked to meet with a recruiter to talk about my solution. Didn’t hear back but overall communication was swift.
I was first contacted by a recruiter who told me I would be interviewing with a current product manager. Then, I was told if the product manager liked me, there would be a take home assignment that I would complete and potentially moved to the final round.
