The interview process started with a recruiter screen, then I had a VP interview. The VP asked me questions about how the business should grow and evolve moving forward, and also about the competitive landscape.

Behavioral Presentation
Got a good first call where they laid out the team roles and the overall process. Then, I had a bunch of interviews with different sub-teams to get a feel for what they do and where I might fit in. The interviewers seemed genuinely interested in what skills I wanted to build and how the day-to-day work could help me do that. A big thing to note is to be ready to talk extensively about the NYT and express your passion for journalism. The people there are really into it, though for me, it felt a little too intense.

Behavioral Technical
Worst recruitment process ever - recruiter and recruitment manager treated me with total disrespect. The New York Times might seem desirable, and some people I met were smart and talented, but the HR/recruitment people treated me like dirt, called me "incompetent" after screening me and having me do 3 interviews, and then never gave the feedback they promised. Most unprofessional process I've ever seen.
