I applied online. I interviewed at IXL Learning (San Mateo, CA) in Nov 2022
Interview
It was a typical technical interview. I was given a leet code medium-level coding question and asked to solve it. The interviewer showed literally no passion in the interview, so it was more like a presentation. He did not make any questions or ask for clarification.

Question 1
Why are you interested in working in EdTech at a company like IXL?
I had an in-person technical interview with one of the engineers and was asked a few questions about myself and why I wanted to work at IXL before starting the coding portion.
resume screen, 45 min technical, recruiter call, onsite with 3 technicals.
my first tech screen was really good and i had a really collaborative and chill interviewer, but my onsite was absolutely terrible. they pulled out LC hards and one of them didn't even know the solution to it and was searching things up during the interview. my last interviewer was an engineering lead who wasn't even trying to follow my code. i would explain something and she wouldn't say anything, and then 5 mins later ask me if i considered something when i literally just explained it. it was clear she wasn't even trying to listen.
