I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at New York Times (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2021
Interview
Had an initial screening process and then the onsite which consisted on one technical interview and several talks with managers. Overall did good but was told they went with the other person applying for the role. My only complaint is the recruiter told me he was gonna try to show my results to other managers but he ghosted me, even though they had lots of open roles at that time.
Recruiter who I was already in contact with recommended me to the position. 30 min engineering manager behavioral, 30 min leetcode medium problem, followed by 4 panel interviews. (uncertain of what the panel interviews consist of)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Go in-depth on a project you've worked on (impacts, engineering challenges, etc)
First initial phone screening on google meet with video. The recruiter missed the first call and I was waiting for 15minutes into my lunch break. I emailed the recruiter, they seemed sorry and then we rescheduled. Phone screening was as aspected, tell me about yourself, why NYT, logistics, etc.
15 minute recruiter call (informational, make sure to let them know if there are other roles you're interested in at the company as they could be a recruiter for that role as well), 30 min hiring manager, 30 minute technical
