Just a warning...they ask for a long free sample and I don't know anyone who has been hired by them. I applied twice (second time under a different name) with the same free sample and never heard a thing. I have three friends who did the same thing...send in the free samples and did not hear back. It seems strange since IXL math is so well-known.
I was wondering about them--seems like they are always advertising.
Thanks for the heads up.
I also completed a long sample. I was told that they were impressed with my work, and was asked to do a phone interview. After the phone interview I received an email that they "decided to pursue other options for this position."
