I applied online. I interviewed at Pearson (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2015
Interview
3 step process. First interview was with a recruiter and the last two were with the hiring manager and other members on the team. The last interview was more of a role play and how you would handle difficult SME’s.
Phone interview with two team members followed by in person interview on site with manager that was about half an hour. It was a pretty standard interview and it was held at a university campus.
I was contacted for an interview and set one up for the upcoming Friday. I got no email confirmation back regarding the interview date. Friday morning, I received an email saying the availability had changed... even though I had never gotten a confirmation on the availability. We reschedule for 2:30 pm....... not sure if it was the same day or the following Friday, but I was prepared anyway. I got a call on Monday... not even on a "Friday" we agreed to. I received a follow up email with "per our emails" even-though Monday was never mentioned. The recruiter also asked for a new date to call. I point out that Monday was never discussed and send a new time for Wednesday. She replies and then again asks when I am free.... although I just told her Wednesday. Terrible experience. I cancelled everything.
It was long and a bit tedious. There were multiple rounds of interviews and long stretches between interviews so I was never totally sure if they were still interested or not.
