I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Pearson (Minneapolis, MN) in May 2023
Interview
I interviewed with Pearson VUE. Three rounds with nine people in all. Similar to the previous post - technical interviews including with two architects and senior developers. Manager and most others seemed to have spent their entire careers - over 20 to 24 years at Pearson in the same department. Perfect setting for an unhealthy workplace that breeds stagnation and nepotism. Typically, chances of getting hired or getting internships at places like these are higher if your spouse / parent works here. Something about the team dynamics seemed off-putting. The recruiter seemed like the nicest person of the entire lot.

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. I was expecting live coding based on conversations with the recruiter but it was largely just technical discussions.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson (Washington, DC) in Jul 2025
Interview
Initial recruiter screen for about 15 minutes. Then 1 hour panel interview (when it said only one person would be on the call in the inital invite), with technical questions on stuff on your resume, brain teaser, leetcode (didn't have time for this part), and behavioral/cultural questions at the end. Got ghosted after this
