It was a really slow process, with about two weeks between any updates throughout the four rounds of interviews and a test. They didn't give any expected timeline at the start. After all that, HR just ghosted me.

It was a really thorough process. They gave me this written test that took about 4 hours to finish, and it really covered a lot of ground in terms of news writing and editing. It wasn't a walk in the park, but if you can get through that, the rest of the interview is pretty straightforward.

The hiring process consisted of multiple interview rounds with various senior managers and editors. It was a pretty relaxed and informal experience overall, which seems to fit with how they operate as a company.
