This is a tough one. Overall I really like the company. But man...that interview process...
I didn't do a traditional interview. I went to a coaching session which allowed me to skip the interview and demo lesson. I did this because I had NO IDEA what was supposed to go into the demo lesson. What was the required teaching style? I had no idea. What would I even be teaching? Beats me! Knowing more now, I assume they would've sent materials to help me prepare. But their requests that I interview went unanswered for a month because I had no idea what to expect.
Anyway, the coaching session prepared me for Mock 1 and Mock 2. That's where I felt the process maybe fell to pieces a bit. I prepared my Mocks as much as I could, and while it generally went well, I felt my particular interviewers weren't necessary great at judging skill levels. I passed my Mock 1 and failed my Mock 2. (I was still hired to teach trial classes only at first). Anyway, it seems silly that they failed me since 1. I was still hired and 2. There are training materials and online courses you can take after being hired which improve your skills as a teacher. So why all the drama with Mock classes when there is training available? Nobody is going to be perfect at first. I was sick with nerves before my Mocks, and it turned out not to even be an issue!
I guess my main issue was the people doing the Mocks. The interviewer for Mock 1 threw a lot of curve balls and, I felt, affected my time unnecessarily. You'll get students who go off track who you need to reel back in, but maybe don't make the Mock 1 so intense. For Mock 2, I was told that--surprise!--this was a lower level class, so much of what I'd prepared was too advanced. I had to wing a lot of that one, which I thought I did decently well given I had no idea that the letter P lesson was an entire unit removed from the letter X lesson.
That may have just been my particular experience. I'm sure others go much more smoothly. Generally, I think interviews are something the company can work to improve, which I'm sure they're aware of. It's a good company and a nice job. It's just a bit of a mess to get hired in the first place.

Very lenghthy interview process, but the interviewers were nice and helpful. There were several steps to the process and it was pretty involved. I had to prepare a lesson beforehand

It was easy an straightforward. 1 interview and 2 mock classes to pass. They offer a contract for a year with option to renew after 1st contract is over. Overall the process last for about 2 weeks from the time you apply unless you are waitlisted.
