I applied online. I interviewed at Pearson (Chandler, AZ) in Apr 2016
Interview
Horrible interview process.. Very slow.. went through a series of phone screens.. about a week apart. I talked to about 3 employees within the group I was interviewing with. First interview with Director went very well. Got a call for the second interview with a lead within the team. That one went very well.. I thought I was on my way for an on-site interview.. Recruiter called me back right after the interview and said they have 1 more phone screen with a development engineer within the group..The interview was set up about a week later.. I got the phone call and believe it or not this person could not speak a word of English.. This person was asking me questions and every single answer I gave was , can you repeat the question because I don't understand what you are asking... It was so bad that I thought it was a joke.. At one point in the interview I actually told this person , I am having trouble understanding what you are asking me, and I think he got offended.. It was a terrible experience and I wasn't surprised that I didn't get a phone call back...

Spoke with the recruiter first. Then, got an invite for an online coding round. Following that I went through 2 rounds of technical interviews, and finally spoke with the hiring manager (final round).

Interview
There were 3 rounds in total, all rounds went really well, the Interviewers were really good and kind. However, after going through the complete process they rejected me in the end, and after several outreach emails to request a feedback I did not receive any feedback nor any response. Basically after investing ~ 1-2 months I was ghosted. Truly disappointed on the company.
