Process

I was very impressed by the interview process at Course Hero. Throughout the process, Course Hero is very responsive and will try their best to work with you to meet any deadlines you may have. They'll do their best to reply to emails as soon as possible, and they treat candidates with a lot of care and respect, which really stood out to me.

In terms of how the process worked for me, I went through 3 interview rounds:

  • The first was a simple HackerRank test that you complete on your own time.
  • After this, you move on to a technical Skype interview conducted by a couple of software engineers.
  • If you do well here, you'll move on to a final round Beam interview in which you'll have both a technical and a behavioral interview with some managers and other engineers.

Questions

Technical questions involved some string-parsing and string manipulation.

Behavioral questions were pretty standard in general (e.g., "What's some of your greatest weaknesses?").

Was this helpful?
