MGT Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process included a phone screen followed by three separate 30-minute interviews conducted over Microsoft Teams. It was a pretty standard interview format, not many situational questions asked. They always saved time at the end for candidate questions. Most of the interviews started late, and the interviewers often seemed unprepared or unsure why they were interviewing candidates. Two out of the four interviewers couldn't answer any of my questions. There was about a three-week gap between each interview.

I had 2 interviews pretty quickly within a week and they gave me the offer a couple of weeks after. The timeline they initially told me was accurate to when I got the offer. HR kept me in the loop and updated me on how things were going.

I applied for a full-time, salaried Science Instructional Coach role with benefits. The interview process involved three stages. It started with an initial phone chat with HR. Then, I had a one-hour video call where I answered situational questions related to the job. Even though I got good feedback, I was ghosted for about a month. After chasing HR a few times, I finally got invited to a final interview. For this last interview, I was given three separate tasks that required preparing a presentation, and they also mentioned a surprise fourth task. I spent several hours on the first three tasks, submitting them by Sunday night after receiving them Thursday night. On Monday, I went in to give my presentations. After the first three, I discovered the fourth task was a role-play activity simulating small group instruction. I had only a few minutes to create a lesson plan on the spot with no materials. The role-play was with adults, which felt unrealistic for assessing how I'd work with actual kids. It seemed strange because the job description didn't mention working directly with students, only modeling strategies for teachers. It became clear why a few days later when a lead called to offer me the role, but as a contract Science Small Group Instructor, not the full-time position advertised. They said the full-time role wasn't ready yet, but there was a chance to transition if I performed well. For a week after that call, I tried to get details on the contract, like pay, duration, and responsibilities, but received no clear answers. The lead only communicated via text, avoiding written details. I eventually stated I had another offer and needed their offer in writing. They gave a deadline for the written offer, missed it, and then missed it again. The whole experience felt like a bait-and-switch. Over two months, I interviewed for one role and put in significant effort, only to be told they wouldn't fill that role after all. The surprise task in the interview strongly suggests they knew about the role change beforehand. Not informing me about this change before assigning hours of weekend work, requiring me to drive 40 minutes, and giving a long presentation felt disrespectful.

I had a great experience interviewing with MGT. From start to finish, there was constant communication so I always knew where I stood in the process and what to expect next. Everyone I spoke with was friendly, approachable, and genuinely interested in getting to know me. The entire process felt organized and thoughtful, and I never felt like I was left in the dark. This was honestly one of the better recruitment processes I’ve been a part of, and it left me with a very positive impression of the company and its people.
