I applied through university. I interviewed at Chicago Public Media (Chicago, IL) in May 2025
Interview
1 screening video round, then 2nd round with supervisor. The second round was scheduled quickly, same day. Relaxed, informative, and relatively easy. Talked with supervisor about my experience, why I wanted to work at CPM, and availability.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Chicago Public Media (Chicago, IL) in Jul 2024
Interview
The interview process was incredibly detailed, which I appreciated, but it ultimately felt unnecessarily long and drawn out. While I understand the need for thoroughness, the number of steps and extended timeline seemed excessive at times and could have been streamlined without compromising the quality of evaluation.

Question 1
ability to work across departments and vendor management
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Chicago Public Media
Interview
One screening call, a brief written strategy prompt and a written product assignment, followed by 3 behavioral interviews. Interviews were easy and largely unstructured. They were hiring for several roles and seemed to have some uncertainty about the scope of each role. Interviews were very different than most product interviews in being largely conversational and lacked focus.
