Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IXL Learning (Stanford, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
On campus interview with director of engr, just to gauge I can actually program, think, and identify good style.
Moved onto full day of onsite interviews. HR and everyone were very accommodating and friendly; I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch with some of the engineers (Michelin-recommended Thai food and down-to-earth people!) and the atmosphere at every interview.
Spoke to the CTO over the phone a week later due to an emergency meeting on his end; brief behavioral, slightly technical interview.

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.
