IXL Learning Sales Specialist Interview Questions
& Process

I had several interviews. The first one involved a detailed presentation that I created and delivered to a panel of three people. After that, I had individual interviews with each of them. Then, I had an in-person meeting with the hiring manager, who said it was the final interview and that I should expect an offer from HR via email by the end of that week. I got a few texts with updates, including the start date. But then I was totally ghosted. After trying to reach the hiring manager and HR recruiter multiple times, I finally heard back almost three weeks later, only to be told they hired someone else. It was really unprofessional and a waste of my time. I wouldn't recommend this company.

The interview process began with a phone chat, then an in-person meeting with a manager, followed by a project where I had to prepare and give a sales presentation to upper managers, and finally, a series of interviews with upper management.

I was really excited about interviewing with IXL, they have a great product and it seems like a great opportunity to influence the education sector. The phone interview went really well, the interviewer was super nice and knowledgable about the company/role. After passing the phone interview I took a written test in which you answer customer service/sales emails. The test was pretty easy, all you had to do was search their website and apply business communication skills. I think the test is just to see how much effort you are willing to put into the interview process as you will have to spend a few hours on their site. The in-person was a different story. First off, the interviewers made me wait a LONG time between interviews and each person that interviewed me seemed very fake without any personality. They read their questions off like a script and refuse to give personal emails which means you cannot write them a thank you letter. Beyond that, the cubicles are super quiet and it almost seems like there's a lack of a company culture. They're also in a generic office building that isn't much too brag about either. If you receive an offer, I suggest you only take it because you need employment.
