      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IXL Learning in Jul 2021

      Interview

      First-round interview was 30 minutes over the phone with a current Curriculum Developer. The interviewer asked questions like: What prerequisite skills would be needed in order to be successful for another skill (I had to tell which skills would be needed to be successful with systems of linear equations)? What would an entry level question for skill look like? If a student got a question wrong about ___________ (insert skill/content area), how would you formulate an explanation at a _____ grade level (In my case, the interviewer indicated that my explanation should be geared toward an elementary school student). Then, the interviewer asked "What would the different levels of questions for this skill look like?" (Clearly looking for questions to begin very simple and gradually become more challenging.) Next, the interviewer asked "What types of values/questions that should be avoided if you were building an IXL skill for this content?" There were several other content-heavy questions as well. The interviewer was very clearly reading from scripted questions and had ZERO desire to get to know me or anything about my background. The interview was entirely technical questions, and the interviewer left very little time for me to ask questions about the position and the team. Afterwards, I tried to send a "Thank You" email to the individual that I interviewed with, and received a message from the HR contact indicating that all communication should be directed through her. She then sent me a "3-hour Take Home Test", which I was given one week to complete. I finished it within two days and received notice less than 3 days later that I was not selected for the job with no opportunity to receive feedback as to the reason I was turned down. Based on other reviews written here, it seems like they constantly are fishing for applicants even if the position is not actually available. Overall, disappointing experience.
