I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Pearson
Interview
Phone screen plus two group interviews. One group interview with technical staff, one group interview with line managers & HR. Quite a big gap between these stages. Fairly average experience, nothing special.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the most important thing to do to make you successful at taking ownership of an application in a business area which is new to you?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson (Sydney)
Interview
No respect for candidate’s time and schedule. HR never followed through on the time schedule for initial phone screen. Even in the first interview, the interviewers came late and did not apologise to keep me waiting. Interview was a show of power where the interviewers had a very haughty attitude. No interview feedback received even after 3 weeks. Whole experience was very negative.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Pearson in Sept 2009
Interview
Initially I was contacted by HR which asked to fill bunch of forms. They did the initial screening and after that hiring manager conducted the interview. The interview was both technical and non-technicals. They asked the reason to leave the current company and talked about the new ventures. I was finally in final 2 but did not get the offer because I didn't have more technical skills than the other person.
