First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at K12.
Paid Media Intern
So after I applied, I heard back from them in about a week for the first round, which was with HR. Then the second round was with the skip-level manager, who's the director of the department. The third and final round was with the hiring manager for the team. This whole process, from the first contact to the end, took about 1-2 weeks.
- Tell me about your experience with paid search.
Registrar
The interview process began with a HireView video recording that included 5 questions. The second interview, a week later, involved two people discussing the role and my experience for 30 minutes. The position was temporarily closed but reopened a week after that for new applicants. It's now been a month since the reopening, and despite extending an offer to someone else, they haven't officially rejected us. Communication from them is poor unless you actively ask for updates.
- Would you be comfortable working remotely, and how would you manage disagreements with a colleague?
Android Engineer
Interview through Recro after a Hackerearth assignment and one round of interviews covering Android and basic DSA. Then, a single round interview focused on Android concepts and some DSA. The interview was quite fast, and it seemed like they lacked a strong developer team at that time. They appeared very eager for me to join.
- Can you rotate an array k times?
- What is the difference between intent and activity?
- Compare coroutines and threads.
School Operations Administrator
The first step was a video recording where I had to answer 3 questions, with 1 minute to prep and answer each, followed by two written parts. The second interview was a 30-minute chat with two people about the job and my background. After that, I got a task via email. The third interview was with the same two people, but it was weird. They asked two strange questions, and it only lasted 12 minutes out of the 30 scheduled, and then they asked for an "About Me" slide. I didn't hear back by the decision date, so I waited a day and emailed, but got an automated rejection.
- Explain the steps to make a PB&J sandwich.
- How would you talk to a customer in a wheelchair about remodeling their kitchen?
