Illuminate Education interview questions

Applied on-line to a role where my skillset and experience were somewhat greater than the role required. Initially, I was concerned about the negative Glassdoor reviews referencing the significant layoffs that occurred post merger, but thought I would explore the company first hand if selected for interviews. My first phone screen with the recruiter went smoothly as did the next with the hiring manager. I was asked to do a case study and from what I was told, nailed it. After these two screens, I came in for a 1:1 with a key individual that also went well. At this point, the experience went really downhill. A number of scheduling mixups for in-person interviews occurred along with last minute additions to the interviewer list. Disrespectful to say the least. In addition, with the exception of one individual, it felt like simple meet and greet interviews which in reality, did not need to happen. The lone interviewer who posed actual questions, was one of those people who throw out questions that had numerous potential answers (which would then be disagreed with) or would ask long-winded, roundabout questions with a varying tone that made it very difficult to determine what was being asked. Generally, a disappointing process where after the first few interviews I felt I was on the short-list of candidates to the last few where I found myself doubting whether I would accept a role if offered one. This doubt was more than likely reinforced by the disorganized environment, lax processes for greeting candidates and generally, the very empty space within the premises. From an overall perspective and although they appear to have a ton of competition with much larger organizations, the product and objective seems sound. Unfortunately, it appears the negative Glassdoor reviews are accurate. Perhaps once they get their act together and become a sound company, it may be an organization worth joining.

Very good Interviews with CFO,CPO, cEO, engineering managers. CFO was very knowledgeable about the business, the finance and exit strategy CPO was outstanding in understanding the markets and strategy CEO had the right attitude and realistic approach to make the company successful
