I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson in Jul 2016
Interview
The hiring manger called me, informal interview during that call. He then invited me to a face to face interview with him and the regional manager. Met with the district/hiring manager and regional manager for the face to face interview. I was not moved onto the next round of interviews, but he said there would have been a campus project and then a 2 hour final, panel interview.
The hiring manager was very nice. The regional manager was rude and basically made fun of one of the questions I asked. Very unprofessional and definitely not a company I would want to work for!

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Pearson (El Paso, TX) in Aug 2016
Interview
applied online, phone interview next day. the interviewer didn't even give me a chance. I prepared for the interview ahead of time, he asked me twice what I liked about sales, as if my first answer wasn't sufficient enough. He cut me off midway through the 1st interview to say that he's decided to move on to other candidates and that maybe in the future i'll have more sales experience. These people don't care about whether or not you care about education; they only care about you being 100% a sales person.

Question 1
what do you like about sales? (asked me twice), a goal you have that you didn't achieve, what are qualities of a good sales representative? walk through your resume/job history a.k.a give a historical account of it.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
Routine questions. Minimal information provided about the role. Interviewers seemed unprepared and disinterested. Surprisingly informal. It almost felt as if I was interviewing them rather than the other way around. Everyone involved was cordial and professional.
