I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cengage (Boston, MA) in Jul 2018
Interview
I spoke to HR who put me through to the hiring manager and her team. I them interviewed on the phone with her and was asked to come in for an in person interview a few weeks later. Everyone I spoke with was knowledgeable and treated me well. I am exciting to start working at Cengage.

Question 1
Tell me about some of your past experiences and how that applies to the open position.
Interview was straightforward and friendly! Met with the whole team before being hired and it was a great opportunity to get to know my future colleagues. All-around great experience!

Question 1
How do you handle a high volume of detail oriented work?
One phone screen with Zandy (HR individual) and three video chats (including a consulting style case) with the hiring manager and other senior team members. Next step in the process was an on-site interview, which I ultimately passed on as I accepted another opportunity. The overall process was very quick and fair - this was in part due to Zandy. He was always available to chat and quick to follow-up via text or phone call. I always knew where I stood in the process because of his communicative style, which was appreciated. Despite accepting a role at another firm, I have nothing but positive things to say about the team and culture at Cengage!
