They sent me a Hirevue to complete within 48 hours, which involves recording myself answering questions. I never received an official rejection or acceptance email, but my status in Workday was updated without notification. It was particularly inconvenient that they sent the Hirevue during my spring break while I was abroad, which made me wonder about Warner Bros.' commitment to employee well-being. The time constraints for each question, with only a minute to prepare and two attempts, felt excessive. I'm not a performer, and I believe interviews should be a two-way street for getting to know the company, not a circus act just to be met with silence.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process was pretty standard. We had three rounds: first with HR, then the hiring manager, and finally the hiring manager and the editor in chief. Everyone was professional and friendly, and the recruiter was really helpful throughout. The later interviews were quite informal, focusing more on my personal interests and experiences rather than strict questions.

I went through an agency who was very helpful and found this position for me very quick. They knew what industry I wanted and found everything I was looking for. Soon after I had an over the phone interview with HR where we discussed my resume in length and what I was looking for in the future. About 3 days later I was offered the job.

Behavioral Presentation
The interview experience was really nice and everyone I talked to, including the Editor-in-Chief, was super friendly. The biggest issue was the salary, it was way off from what was posted online. The job ad said the range was $38,511 - $71,521, but in the first interview, they told me the real range was 55-57k. I mentioned my salary expectations were based on the posting and my experience, and I decided to keep going because I thought we could negotiate. After a good interview with the EIC, they told me the salary was firm and couldn't go any higher, asking if it was a dealbreaker. It was, so I had to pass.
