I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Pearson (Jacksonville, FL)
Interview
Multiple interviews Phone, interview screening then district, regional, national sales managers, as well as a campus project which was very rigorous and time consuming The process was fair and the more interviews, the more I learned about the company

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2020
Interview
5-6 interviews at least with many different stakeholders up the chain of command and into adjacent sales supporting verticals. Speaking with other team reps and completing as a “project” a full college day. Acting as if you are the sales rep/account executive on campus.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson (Hartford, CT)
Interview
I was called about the position and if I was interested. I was later called back to be told the job was filled. I was called a few weeks later to learn the last person wasn't the right fit for the company. I went through two rounds of phone interviews, an in-person interview with the direct report and then two flights - one to Dallas with a regional manager and then out to Arizona to interview with HR and the national sales manager. It was a whirlwind experience but I think my ability to make all the appointments/interviews showed them I was a viable candidate.
