I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IXL Learning (San Mateo, CA) in May 2012
Interview
Phone interview was straight forward. They read off a script. Not much discussion or feedback on the position I applied for. One way interview. I passed that.
Writing test was next. Simple test that took a few hours. All you had to do was answer some emails and some questions regarding IXL Math. Passed. I got a 2 person on site interview next.
In person interview was like the phone. They read off a script. Not much discussion or feedback on the position I applied for. One way interview. They asked, I answered. They didnt seem too open to answer my questions. Almost seemed like they were annoyed and I was wasting their time. They didnt bother to figure out who I was. They had a mysterious mold they wanted to fill and they didnt want the candidates to know what it was. So youre shooting into the dark when answering. They didnt provide much insight into the company or the product future. It appeared that I WAS MORE INTERESTED in their product than them. I asked about professional growth and training, they said I was being vague... Anyways, they want a certain candidate, but they wont say what it was. The job description is what it is, it jsut tells you the tasks you will be doing. Good luck in filling the position, i know they screen alot of people and very few make it through. and the few that do make it through cannot give the best interview as the interviewers do not give the candidates much to work with.
just look at the other reviews in regards to their interviewer skills.
on the brightside, IXL was prompt. 48hrs and i received contact after each step. although its one way. they didnt give me their cards, contact info, email, or phone. they want to keep everything a secret.

Question 1
Tell me three reasons why you will be good for this position?
It was a smooth process and the recruiter was fantastic. They were very open and honest. The interview process included a recording for presenting. They provided a script as well. I didn't make it through, but it was a smooth process.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at IXL Learning
Interview
I was contacted by the recruiting team after meeting company reps and dropping off my resume at my school's career fair. The company sent me an email asking to set up a phone interview, which lasted for about 30 minutes. Upon advancing to the next round, the company gave me a job skills test to submit via email.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interviewer spent half of the 30 minutes explaining quickly the ins and outs about the company (he talked very fast and sounded very rushed, and consequently made me feel slightly uncomfortable). Afterwards he asked some very typical, expected questions about myself, my qualifications, and why I would work at the company. Then I was allowed to ask some questions. Because the interviewer sounded rushed throughout the whole process I did not feel as though I could freely ask meaningful questions about the company. He eventually cut me off and said he has another interview scheduled right after mine.
