Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson (Bloomington, MN) in Mar 2014
Interview
4 rounds:
1 telephonic (HR) - this is a very basic round. Know your resume well.
3 on-site -
a. Interview with the Managers (Behavioral) - a group of managers test your IQ and look for dedicated and motivated candidates
b. Code writing - You will be asked to write code on a basic editor on the computer
c. Technical Interview with senior developers - The senior developers test your technical concepts. Main focus is on Object oriented programming concepts and programming logic.
I've got referral, and I was interviewed around March of 2016 for summer internship that year. The on-site interview consisted of 4 rounds: technical, behavioral, tour, and assessment. I've accepted the offer the very next day of the interview because I had pending offer from another company, and I preferred Pearson VUE.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Many java specific questions in the technical round. The assessment round had some straightforward string manipulation and duplicate checking questions. Behavioral interview was with the managers where they ask you brain teasers, future plan, and your opinion and interests.
