Course Hero Interview Questions

Application

I applied online. The process took 3+ weeks. I interviewed at Course Hero (Redwood City, CA) in April 2018.

Interview

I applied online and got screened within 1 week. The HR was very friendly and provided me with all the information. Upon telling them that I am actively interviewing with other companies, they made sure that my application was accelerated and kept in touch with me to ensure I am still available and what my timeline looked like.

The phone interview was followed by a technical discussion with a team member first and then a video call with the CTO. The conversation was technical mostly.

I was then invited on-site, Given a tour of the office and then further interviewed by 5 people for 45mins each. It was a good mix of casual conversation, technical discussion, checking alignment for culture fit, etc.

I felt very welcomed on-site and everyone was very accommodating.

They confirmed next business day that they would like to have some references checked and upon completion of that the offer was rolled out.

The entire process took less than a month. I have interviewed for 20+ companies in my career and the process and follow-ups of Course Hero was by-far the best among them. The way they treated me throughout the process made me give them preference over other employers and I happily accepted the offer!

Not really so much of an interview as a job walkthrough. Basically only asked if I could do this and that and taught me how to market the site. Not much else to the process.

Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6+ weeks. I interviewed at Course Hero in August 2017.

Interview

I had applied after being asked by the recruiter, however the process was a mess. It started by being of great importance to being a bit chaotic from organizing the first interview with the recruiter and then the hiring manager. When talking with the hiring manager, unfortunately, it became clear if the role was really not that important because her focus was all over the place. Which didn't really allow me to focus either. While the glassdoor reviews are generally positive here you do have to go with your gut on what you think is right or not.

Interview

Applied online and received an email to set up a time for a phone interview with the VP of analytics. Phone interview included a few technical SQL questions. After the phone interview, I was told the next step is 4-6 hour data case study. After spending a lengthy time on the case study, I was told a week later I would not move forward. It is unfair to ask a candidate to spend personal time on a case study that early in the interview process. Felt like a huge waste of my time.
