Interview
1) Contacted by email to arrange phone interview.
2) Phone interview.
3) Email to arrange in person interviews.
4) In person interviews with several people - about 30 minutes each.
5) Two weeks pass.
6) Email to arrange in round of in person interviews, no information as to who you will be interviewing.

9) Emailed to inquire whether position was filled or if still in consideration.
10) No response for 2 days and then
11) Heartfelt and personal email thanking candidate but they have reviewed candidate's qualifications against their current staffing needs and based on their review, they cannot offer candidate a position at this time. (the last bit was sarcastic, it was very impersonal and badly worded.)
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
HR must hire interns or high school students, because the person I dealt with had no email etiquette and was poorly spoken. NOT a good representative of the company.
The interviews themselves were informative and enjoyable, but HR left a bad taste in my mouth.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at New York Times in Jun 2024
Interview
I was an internal candidate in my role for 1 year and in good standing. I had received a very good performance review with a solid merit increase and a small bonus in late December 2023. I was working on the business side and wanted to move to the newsroom side of the organization which was my reason for initially joining the organization. I interviewed with 4 people, which included both the hiring manager and recruiter all in one day. It took 3 1/2 work hours to complete. I was told by the recruiter at the end that everyone gave me excellent feedback. I leave for a one week vacation and on the following Friday when I returned I was let go. This was retaliation by my manager who was afraid of “how it would look” for the Office of the CEO if I left after 1 year. This woman has unchecked authority in her role and she should be fired. She asked HR to “go along” with the charade so that I wouldn’t have any legal means to say the process was unfair. Underhanded, political tactics by an organization that espouses to uphold ethics.

Interview
phone screen and in person interview after with a number of folks. Very good communication and quick responses from the recruiting team. The recruiter was main point of contact though.
