1. Initial screen call with a recruiter 2. 1-hour video interview with 3 people in position I was interviewing for 3. Take home assessment 4. 45- minute video interview with 3 hiring managers I am passionate about the 2U mission and was thrilled to interview for a role with the company. The initial steps in the interview were executed swiftly, but my candidate experience after the final interview leaves quite a bit to be desired. Recruiters are hard to get a hold of, decision deadlines are moving targets and communication is non-existent. Whether or not I got the job, this post-interview experience has been eye-opening. The take home assessment was essentially responding to interview questions in written format. In my 1-hour interview with peers in the role I was interviewing for, it was abundantly clear that one of the interviewers wasn't paying attention. Again, I love the 2U mission and enjoyed the people I met, but the interview process could probably serve to be evaluated and improved.

I submitted my application online and afterwards had an employee send an internal referral to HR. I received a phone interview request the day after the internal referral was sent! At the end of the phone interview, the recruiter invited me to video interview with the team. I had a total of three video interviews, including one with a VP, and received an offer less than a week after. The entire process took 5 months due to 2U having a hiring pause during COVID-19. The process was overall smooth, the recruiter was personable and quick to respond to questions, and the team was authentic and positive. I am looking forward to joining the organization!
