I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at New York Times (New York, NY)
Interview
Referred by a friend. I had several phone interviews with different managers and groups. After that, I did a take home coding test that took about 4-6 hours. Was flown in for a series of about five short interviews on-site. I was offered a position a few days later.
