I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson in Jan 2022
Interview
Initial Screening call from HR, then a few days later, interview with Manager and another software developer. Did a coding challenge in my spare time and a few days later gave a presentation before several technical and non-technical people. Another 1 on 1 interview with the manager, and lastly a 1 on 1 with software developer. All of this done remotely over Teams. The whole process took well over a month. I was a finalist, but did't get the offer. Honestly, for all the time off I had to take from work and the coding challenge, I think they should pay you something for your efforts. They were very nice and respectful during the process.

Interview
First had a screening call with a Pearson recruiter. Technical interview was a deep technical conversation about resume and previous work experience with Tech Lead and Senior Software Engineer.

Initial recruiter screen for about 15 minutes.

Got ghosted after this
