I had an online interview for an internship at Voice of America during the pandemic, which was conducted via Google Meet. The interviewers asked relevant questions, but communication was a bit unclear, and the interview got delayed a few times.

Got referred by someone. After the referral, I had a call and spoke with 3 people. Then, an in-person interview was set up. The interview day was long, involving a translation part, an on-air interview, broadcast reading, a one-on-one, and finally a panel interview. It was tough but also challenging, making it a memorable interview experience.

It was easy, they took me to the waiting area. Getting through the gates was a hustle because of security. I was subjected to a full-body scan and search. I arrived 15 minutes early and it took me 20 minutes to be processed for the search. If you're going there, make sure you arrive at least 30 minutes early because getting through the security is crazy on a good day. The interview lasted 2 hours. I was grilled on previous history, domicile, and international assignments (I was applying for that job after a stint with RT and CNN).
