Meeting with executive producers run the gamut. Some are only concerned about your previous experience, others just want to know that you have "been through the wringer." Usually these shows or series are greenlit and production begins right away, so you have to be ready to accept an offer within 24 hours.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Paramount (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter and interviewed three times via video by the company. This took about 3 weeks; each interview was about an hour. There were only three candidates left, and I was ghosted. My last interview was with 6 team members at once.

Question 1
The interview was pretty typical; what was so surprising was no one ever explained to me what the job was or what my duties would be. The recruiter had no idea, and I never saw a job description because I was recruited. Even during the interviews, no one could explain what I'd be doing exactly.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paramount (New York, NY) in Oct 2020
Interview
I had a reference for the job, and I received a call from a hiring manager. I then had a call with my manager, and two other executives, and a follow up with the hiring manager.
Phone & 2x in person. More talking interests than the position, left with more questions than answers about the work, the position, and what they wanted from a producer in this role. Learned in interview it was a contract position, not Full Time as was listed in the job description.
