I applied through university. I interviewed at Scholastic (New York, NY) in Mar 2021
Interview
Started with a Coderbyte technical assessment challenge. Then a behavioral/technical interview with a dev. Then a super day with 1 technical interview, 1 behavioral/system design interview, and a group interview.
For the group interview we were assigned a group and given a feature to brainstorm/prototype, had time to make a small presentation, and then had to present to all the groups.
Everything up until this point went great, everyone was so friendly. Then 2 weeks go by, then we were told we’d hear back “within 2-3 more weeks”, and then we were completely ghosted. No further updates, no responses to any emails, nothing.
I’d recommend that you stay away from Scholastic. Judging by the other reviews, it seems like they ghosted everyone who didn’t get an offer. The fact that HR ghosts people after the final round is extremely unprofessional.

Interview
Only got through the first round, technical interview. Got asked concept questions, no actual coding. My interviewer was super nice and helped me through questions that I struggled with, which I was very grateful for.

It was an easy interview process, first virtual then onsite.
Interviewed by a friendly team, interview went great- surprised I did not advance, perhaps for some minor detail. It is what it is.
