I applied online and first had an HR interview, who was straightforward and told me I was going to interview the next day with two senior people and do an editing test. The next interview was very long, about 1-1.5 hours. The first half of the interview I was asked very standard, but tricky "tell me about a time" questions and I could tell they were both reading off a script. The second half involves an editing test to check clarity, spelling, and grammar of a press release.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you disagreed with a colleague and how you handled it. Tell me about a time where your values didn't align with someone else's and how you approached it.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Business Wire (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
It's very casual. They will test your grammar and close-reading abilities. They will want to know that you're a team player. Additionally, they will stress the fact that this is NOT a writing job.

Nothing extraordinary. Standard fair questions. Example: How do you perform under pressure?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Business Wire in Jun 2018
Interview
Applied online, received a call soon after to schedule an in-person interview. The interview and written tests (which were timed) took more than an hour, which I did not expect.
