The entire process was very quick, 3 weeks. I sent in my application and had an interview request the next business day. The first interview uses adobe connect for the video and a conference line for the audio. You need to download a plugin for adobe connect, but you arenr prompted to do so until you try to enter the conference room. The first interview is with an hr person. They ask you about your resume. In addition to teaching experience I have lots of research experience. Rather than asking about teaching I was asked about my research background to make sure my passion is in education. They also want to make sure you have a strong internet connection and a dedicated office. I was asked of a second interview a few hours later. The second interview is with the course mentor supervisor and the next level boss. In this interview they ask about teaching style. They also ask you a few different ways why you want this job. Most of the students are non-traditional, so they want to make sure you will be able to work well with that demographic. The third interview is with other course mentors. It was a very laid back interview. They want to make sure you will fit in with the team.
Most of our students work full time jobs, have families, and have other obligations besides their course work. Many of these students become frustrated. How would you handle a student like this? Have you had a similar student before?

I made it through 2 interviews. The first was with someone in HR. The second was with a panel of 3 over Skype. Fairly routine questions. Asked what I knew about the company. Asked about willingness to work non traditional hours.

Hiring process was great! I met with recruiter and manager through adobe. Team seems very kind thus far and has been readily available if I have questions or concerns. The culture seems very student and employee centered

If you have a terminal degree and any respect for yourself at all do not waste your time with this company. The first recruiter that contacted me rescheduled the interview 5 minutes past the start time. The second rescheduled the interview 5 minutes before. The third told me that you have to only work at WGU the first year to be considered. First of all, this is not on their job posting. Second - this totally negates the "competency model" and "call for industry experts". I have a terminal degree and a very high ranking industry job and I am supposed to quit that and benefit the students? It sounds like another diploma mill. Their recruiters show no respect for the people who apply so I cannot imagine how they treat their students.
If I was reviewing WGU as an outside entity (i.e. for student funding, accreditation, etc.) I would question their model based on their hiring practices.
