I met at a recruiter who was in the position I interviewed for at a job fair on Stanford's campus. I hadn't been specifically looking for a job or at the company, but she offered me an on campus interview the next day. After that, I was asked to answer some questions and do exercises, then I had a second round interview at the IXL office.

Domanda 1
They asked me a lot of brain teasers. Some were easy, one was challenging
A bit rushed; didn't give feedback which is always annoying; felt a bit random with how they rejected, but didn't get the logic puzzle so that could be why; format was a behavioral question, how to improve the website, logic puzzle

Interview was pretty standard, but they completely ghosted me after the second round. Its fine if you are rejecting me, but I find it unprofessional and a bad candidate experience to not hear back whatsoever.

Colloquio
The process was unnecessarily long and utterly disorganized. I applied for a Product Manager role but was unexpectedly down-leveled to an Associate PM position without explanation. The recruiter took two to three weeks to respond between each step, which made the entire process drag on for over a month.
The first round was a conversational interview with PM, followed by a lengthy take-home assignment that required deep product analysis and writing. After submitting thoughtful, detailed work, I received a generic rejection email with no feedback.
For a company focused on learning and improvement, the lack of transparency, feedback, and respect for candidate time was disappointing. The process felt more like a test of endurance than a genuine evaluation of product thinking. A great mission doesn’t excuse a poor interview experience.
