I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at IXL Learning (San Mateo, CA) in Dec 2014
Interview
I had an on-campus interview after meeting IXL employees at a career fair. Then I had a phone screening, a written assignment, a phone interview about my assignment, and ultimately was flown out for an in person interview.
The on-campus interview was pretty typical, asking me about past experience, challenges, etc. There was a logic puzzle as part of the interview. I'd recommend talking outloud and writing down your thoughts on the board.
The phone screening was a more HR, personality fit type of discussion.
The written assignment pertained more to IXL and the type of work Product Designers/ Associate Product Mangers would do, such as ways you would improve their product.
The in-person interview was all day, and had meetings with designers, managers, as well as a software engineer to see how well you understand programming concepts.
Everyone I spoke and met with was nice, and the whole process was painless. I'd definitely recommend applying.

I applied online. I interviewed at IXL Learning (Raleigh, NC) in Jan 2026
Interview
Everyone was friendly in the interview process, however, it was a long process from start to finish. Initial interview with a recruiter, then a phone interview with hiring manager. After that, they will offer an in person interview typically.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IXL Learning (San Mateo, CA) in Apr 2017
Interview
I had an interview, they asked the typical interview questions and the same jelly bean riddle that everyone else said. Then I had to do a design assignment, which I had a week to complete. It was actually a bit of work and took me about the whole week to complete, with the fact that I'm a student with a part time job.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IXL Learning
Interview
I interviewed with a member of the product management team. There wasn't a brain teaser. Questions are more leaning towards previous experience, projects, and how you would approach a design.
