Applied online and got a link to a hackerrank challenge the same day. The questions were easy and I passed all the test cases with time to spare. However, I got a generic rejection email shortly after. Honestly feels like they didn't even look at my resume until after the coding challenge and instead wasted my time.
I applied online. I interviewed at IXL Learning in Mar 2026
Interview
Completed the OA and got the follow-up interview.
Follow-up interview was mostly technical with a little bit of personal experience explanation
Interviewer was very polite and was willing to answer any questions I had about the company and the assessment.
Interview questions [1]
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.
