Imagine Learning Interview Questions

Standard questions, tell me about your background, what kind of materials have you written, what is important when creating materials for a national audience, what experience do you have working with cross-functional teams.

The interview started with a 5 question video recording. Each question popped up on the screen and you were given 30 seconds of prep time. You were given two minutes to answer the question to its fullest. You were then moved on to the next question

A colleague recommended me to interview. I had to go through hr, management, and upper management . Each interview took about 30 minutes or less and though short, management wanted evaluation efficiency to put staff in place

Step one was a recorded video interview sent through jobvite. Step two was a one-on-one Zoom interview with a CSM. Step three was a hypothetical project that I was given about 3 days to complete.

I was contacted by a screener shortly after I applied. We had a 30 minute conversation, which was recorded. Questions mostly centered on acceptance of job description - salary, travel demands, etc. I was scheduled for a 2nd round a few days later, during which I had to give a presentation and answer some basic questions about my background and how I prepared for the presentation. At the end of that, I was scheduled to speak with a VP for a 3rd round. I thought this was all going well, given the multiple rounds and the feedback I received. And then - they ghosted me. Zero communication. Not even a "thanks but no thanks" email template. I sent follow up emails after each round, and none of them were replied to. It was all really disappointing.

Email response received from recruiter, first round interview with recruiter - slightly distanced from company culture/knowledge, Second round interview with direct manager was relaxed and welcoming, Third round interview with upper level management was more formal

I applied online and received an invitation to speak with the recruiter within a business day. The interview was recorded and sent to the hiring manager, and I was invited to interview with the manager the following week. The recruiter demonstrated behavior that I found to be unusually assertive for this early in the hiring process. She texted me within a few hours of sending the follow up invitation via email to ask me to send my availability ASAP. She also wanted to debrief me over the phone to help me "prep" for my interview with the supervisor. I also received a good luck email prior to my interview with the supervisor and was told I would be contacted again to debrief the interview. I didn't hear back from the recruiter after my interview with the hiring manager. My sense was that the recruiter either, 1) thought I was a strongly qualified candidate more so than the actual manager, or 2) was experiencing pressure or being incentivized to fill this position ASAP. I noticed that the recruiter's email handle was from a HR consulting company, not from Imagine Learning. So, I'm not sure if their HR practices involve working with external vendors for recruitment, but I ultimately wonder if there was a disconnect between the recruiter's vision of a strong candidate versus the hiring manager's vision for the qualified candidate in this role. Or, the hiring manager just didn't like me, which is totally possible. After receiving all of these personalized touch points from the recruiter, I received a generic system email with the rejection letter a few days following my interview. I asked the recruiter for general feedback about why I did not advance in the process as and never heard back. While I appreciated that they stuck to a quick and clear timeline, this experience with the recruiter ultimately made it a negative experience; it felt like the recruiter was leading me to believe I was a stronger candidate for this role than I was. I'm not sure if these are trendy new hiring practices that they're trying to implement, but it ultimately felt a bit unprofessional.

Wasn't "wowed" by the interview team. Seemed lack luster and was missing the degree of personality that I prefer when seeking a job change. Interviewers we're nice but it felt very robotic and I was concerned that would translate to the job as well.

Screening interview at the job fair about data structures and then an online interview about web development topics. Their company is going fully remote so you can expect all interactions to be online.

There were multiple levels of discussions with HR, hiring manager, and dev. Their interviews with dev are not good and they showed little to no empathy for candidates. It was a ruthless show of elitism at it's finest - egos abound here. Would not recommend wasting your time.
