> > 1st phone interview (screening) -> 2nd phone interview (technical) -> [crickets] I had the exact same experience, around the same time. I just assumed I was a bad fit, but it would have been nice to know why. The company seems pretty cool, from what I could tell.

Sure, we'll find out and write you. We were extremely busy in December/January and didn't have a dedicated HR/Recruiting manager yet.

Oof, bummer. Your experience is slower than average. We ran into a grading crunch when we launched our Enterprise product. When you submit your work to us, your submission is anonymous. Three engineers grade each submission. Platform Engineers will experience the greatest wait periods. The other roles tend to be quicker. Expected time-frame: * Proceed from application to work sample: 24 hours. * Complete work sample:…

* Grade work sample: 1-4 weeks. That's heinous.

Agreed. That's kind of ridiculous. I don't understand this whole "we are not interested in speaking with you as a real human being but 'here', here is some homework for you to do' Seems really silly.

Minimalist work sample tests don't work. The work sample test is the test. There is no other criteria involved in whether to hire someone other than their performance on the work sample test. Otherwise it's not a work sample test; it's an intro. This is a step forward for our industry. For those who don't like it, there are plenty of jobs where you can do the traditional whiteboard hazing.

>Minimalist work sample tests do not work. I've had a lot of success hiring with minimalist work samples. >Otherwise it's not a work sample test; it's an intro. Well, like I said, I think the work sample should only be needed to show basic awareness and that the rest of the process should be based upon the course of a discussion around the candidate's relevant experience, the company's needs and intended role for the…

Can you define "minimalist"? Or what you would consider minimalist.

Internships link on the website says that its not available. I guess I'm late. Love what you guys do at Khan Academy!!

We'll be re-opening internship applications in ~a month for this Fall and next Summer. Strongly suggest applying, it's a solid experience: https://www.khanacademy.org/careers/interns

Are internship opportunities also remote?

I must correct myself here. @mrkurt apologies for misleading information. What I meant was I haven't heard about the next steps or about a rejection. However, I was notified that my submission is in queue and to expect a decision soon. I am 100% in support for the hiring procedures followed by Compose :). What was disappointing was, overall the timeline has been 8+ weeks since submission of coding exercise and a deci…

Yeah 8 weeks is terrible, and I'm pretty sure it means something broke. I'm happy to look it up (incidentally, people are very hesitant to email us and ask what's up because they're worried about seeming pushy. They shouldn't be, if a company thinks you're pushy for respecting your time you shouldn't work there).

Would you mind listing a few past projects and work samples have been?
