It's on campus interview. Most of the questions are behavior questions, like what class do you like most and least, most difficult challenge you ever met in your project. Only the recruiter asked questions, so none of them are very technical.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
2 Interviews, some perfunctory and simple 'tests'. All in all the HR approach to this recruitment process lacked appropriate robustness and seemed to me to be very much an after-thought or low priority.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to suggest how I may react to a case-study I was provided with. The response I gave was broadly common sense, the case study test in this case could have only weeded out the most ignorant or simple minded candidates, it certainly was not taxing in the least!
