I applied online. I interviewed at IXL Learning in Dec 2024
Interview
First round coding interview, 1 hr
Second round with recruiter, 30 min
Third & final round consisted of 4 back-to-back interviews: 3 coding, 1 behavioral with recruiter that lasted 4+ hours in total.
Overall waste of time. Was asked leetcode medium to hard, which is laughable given their salary range for the Bay Area, and their haughty expectation that you ace their leetcode hards. This company thinks too highly of themselves to be demanding that much for mediocre pay. After the final round, recruiter gave a generic, template rejection email that didn't explain any reasons for rejection. Overall felt that my time was disrespected. At least give a sentence or two telling me why I didn't get the role, instead of copying and pasting a template message. Gives you a good idea of how they'd treat you as an employee. If you can pass their interviews, you're certainly capable of getting a job at a better paying company that won't make you run in circles.

Completed the OA and got the follow-up interview.

Interviewer was very polite and was willing to answer any questions I had about the company and the assessment.
Interview questions [1]
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.
