I had a phone screen with HR, then a zoom chat with the hiring manager. After that, I had a team interview over zoom with three people, then an in-person meeting with the hiring manager, and finally a zoom presentation. No offer was made.

It was a long interview process. Started with a screen, then an interview, followed by a job shadow. There was also a written test with open-response questions and an essay. It concluded with a panel interview that included a mock pitch. Overall, it was a very extensive process. Everyone was nice, but ultimately they decided not to fill the position and never explained why.

My interview experience for the Account Executive role at Cengage Group was really bad. It started with hardly any communication after the first interviews. Then, they told me I had to go for an onsite interview in San Jose, which was far for me, and they weren't flexible about it. I went, and after that, it was silent again. I found out later through LinkedIn that I didn't get the job. They eventually sent an email saying I didn't have enough experience, which wasn't true because I had way more than they asked for. It felt unprofessional and like they didn't value my time. I wouldn't recommend interviewing with them based on this disorganized and rude experience.
