first round interview with product manager after submitting application (applied in fall of last year but only heard back in late march), questions about resume/project, brain teaser and short product exercise, took 30 minutes
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
tell me about a project that you worked on (from the perspective of a product manager)
I applied through university. I interviewed at IXL Learning (San Mateo, CA) in Jan 2026
Interview
HR resume screening then a couple interviews with current APM, the VP of Product, and final panel with the team. I think interviewer is super nice but I don't like the whole concept of putting you on the spot to think about an obscure logic puzzle. I expressed my structured thinking and thought clearly but could not come up with the right answer which I think what ultimately caused the rejection.

Question 1
Why this role? UI/UX Website critique and walkthrough. Logic puzzle questions.
I applied online. I interviewed at IXL Learning in Nov 2025
Interview
Interview with a current APM, a recruiter call, and then take-home assessment. I didn't get any feedback, and the process is somewhat slow. The APM and recruiter were both nice but I wish I got some feedback on the assessment I took time in completing. Next would be the on-site round.
