Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process was easy, meeting with the higher ups is fun and casual. The last interview gives you a quiz so be prepared to sit and take a test on general knowledge of News and Sports. This is a fill in the blank. You need to know everything from current events to airport codes to sports teams and cities.

I met with more than 6 executives, including people from HR and the recruitment office, as well as the news vice president.

HR sent me an email to talk. After a phone chat, they scheduled an interview. I went in and interviewed for 30 minutes with a senior manager or producer.
