I got a call about 3 days after I applied. It started with a phone screener and then I had a Zoom chat with the hiring manager. They seemed to care a lot about fit, asking about my experience and what I can do. It was all pretty standard stuff for how these things usually go.

Applied online and heard back from a recruiter about three weeks later. The recruiter's attitude was pretty condescending from the start. They'd only call if I could answer questions about my favorite Fox anchors and who I followed on social media. They didn't ask me anything about my actual skills. The recruiter also forgot what job we were even talking about midway through. I ended up having two more rounds after that. It wasn't a great experience.

If you have experience and qualifications, the process is pretty straightforward. It's direct and to the point, with no beating around the bush. The managers are busy. There are usually several candidates, so you need to know your stuff. They take their time filling openings because they want to make sure you're a good fit for the Fox "family."
