Only participated in the recruiter screening, but it was straightforward, and surprising only took 15 minutes of the 30 allotted. At the end she noted she would suggest I move forward, although I did not. However she was super courteous and called to inform me versus receiving a standard rejection emails.

Question 1
Tell me about what from your background qualifies you for this role.
I applied online. I interviewed at Cengage in Apr 2026
Interview
First interview was a screening with their recruiter. After that I was scheduled for a second interview, but the hiring manager never showed up after waiting for 20 minutes on the call. Got an apology via email and was asked if I was interested in another UX role. After replying I never received an answer and I got an automatic rejection. Pretty poor way to handle a candidate after wasting their time. Salary range is extremely low as well.
