Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about what from your background qualifies you for this role.
I applied online. I interviewed at Cengage in Apr 2026
Interview
First interview was a screening with their recruiter. After that I was scheduled for a second interview, but the hiring manager never showed up after waiting for 20 minutes on the call. Got an apology via email and was asked if I was interested in another UX role. After replying I never received an answer and I got an automatic rejection. Pretty poor way to handle a candidate after wasting their time. Salary range is extremely low as well.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Cengage (Noida)
Interview
It was fairly simple and fast process. One phone interview with manager, next timed assessment, post that video interview with the same manager, then final video interview with the director. The whole process took 4 days.
