Interview
After applying online, I was happy to receive a response from Study.com's HR department within a week or so. Overall, all of the interactions I had with them was positive, informative, and prompt.
The first interview was over the phone with a representative of HR. It was scheduled for 30 minutes but mine lasted for about 45 minutes, which I feel like could be attributed to the great, open-ended questions. The person I spoke with gave me a good feel for the work culture of Study.com and was an engaged listener throughout, giving feedback all the while.
The next step was another phone interview, but about 1 hour and with two team members. This one required a brief period of screen sharing for a task. (I don't think I was able to properly manipulate the cursor, but didn't mention this to my interviewers, which was a mistake on my part.) I believe one of the two team members was taking notes throughout because one definitely took the lead on asking questions. They, too, were super engaged listeners and I loved hearing about their hopes and vision for Study.com. Their passion and expertise really shone through.
Ultimately, I was not extended an offer, but I loved learning a lot about the company and hearing about how people from different areas of expertise contribute to a common mission.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
(When provided a data table) If you had to prioritize three of these courses to audit, which would you choose? Why? Which of the data columns is superfluous to what you would focus on for this purpose? What additional data would you want to see?
1) standard recruiter call with discussion of compensation band 2) 1-2 team member video interview involved some technical evaluation (I was tasked with analyzing a spreadsheet and making recommendations based on it) 3) technical assessment of writing content related to a prompt 4) final panel—didn't get to this because I ended up withdrawing but would've involved meeting with more team members and probably would've included more behavioral/situational questions

Question 1
Depended on which stage of the process, but there was generally a mix of some situational and thought process questions to understand how you'd approach the work and engage with the team
I applied online. I interviewed at Study.com (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2023
Interview
Recruiter reached out and sent me a calendar link to schedule an interview. After they asked me some simple Qs, they told me they would get back to me the following Monday but never did. The interview went well from my perspective...they seemed excited about my qualifications. Monday passed, and I followed up...alas...I was ghosted by the recruiter, like so many job seekers before me . This tells me two things about Study: 1. They don't value their interviewees' time, and 2. if they don't respect you in the interview process, they certainly won't respect you working there. Oh, well! Don't feel too bad if this happens to you. Reflects more on the company than on you as a person.

Interview
A phone interview, then 3 rounds of virtual meetings each with 2 interviewers, mostly in adjacent roles and direct supervisory roles. Was very hard to coordinate times, as I think their coordinator left during the process?
