First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Khan Academy.
Content Creator
This interview process was quite time-consuming. Some of the interviewers were great, but others made it really difficult to understand what they were asking. This led to going in circles when I tried to get clarification, which was frustrating.
- Tell me about a time you had to collaborate.
- What are some general questions about collaboration?
Content Specialist
Got contacted by a recruiter via email after applying 3 months prior. The job title was a bit confusing, advertised as Manager and Specialist with the same description. The recruiter scheduled a 1:1 Skype interview. I was on vacation and had to go home for it. While waiting on Skype, the recruiter emailed saying the interviewer was busy, so we rescheduled. The 1:1 happened the next week and lasted over an hour. Then came a surprise: four hours later, an email said I was moving to the next round, which was a panel interview. They also asked me to submit a project (which took way longer than the estimated 2 hours) and an introduction. I worked hard on the project and prepared a PPT for my personal project. During the panel interview, they were unfriendly and didn't ask about my background or intro. They only focused on the project I did for them, where I shared some good insights. It was a disappointing and dishonest interview process.
- Can you tell me what the five pillars of Islam are?
Content Creator
I did a few assignments and interviews. I had to make some content and also fix/edit some content that was already there. I submitted written assignments and also recorded a presentation/video. I also talked to some people from the team.
- What is your motivation for working in Edtech?
- Why are you interested in Khan Academy?
- How would you explain a specific topic to a student who is having trouble understanding it?
