Interview
I applied via a recruitment website.
An initial 30-minute phone interview, no difficult questions mostly on previous work experience.
I emailed for feedback a week later but got no reply, no further communication at all. Regarded as a more important read than the WSJ and considered in the sector to be a company with integrity I didn’t expect to be ghosted by the Financial Times. A rather poor showing.

Interview
The FT local talent executive reached out to me after an application submitted. He seemed quite informative and nice and put me forward to the next stage.
The second stage was with the Technical Director, Alice Bartlett and felt like I did well despite the fact she looked quite out of place and did not show much interest towards me at all, however I received no further contact from FT following this interview.
