      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CNN (Atlanta, GA) in Sept 2014

      Interview

      I was contacted by a recruiter about 3 weeks after applying. We had a brief phone interview and than she set up a face to face. She was very friendly and provided me a lot of information for the interview. Met with the team did a speed dating style of interview. Honestly I was very nervous but they made me feel at ease. Interview was very comfortable and team was nice. They gave you a tour of the building. I didn't get the position but to date I would consider that one of my best interview experiences.

      Question 1

      Which is better a leader or a follower?

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CNN (Atlanta, GA) in Dec 2019

      Interview

      There was a recorded video interview first, then I was invited for an in-person interview. I liked getting to take the tour before the interview. However, I got the impression that they have either a turnover problem or an attitude problem on the staff: a significant chunk of time in the interview was devoted to asking me how I would keep the job "interesting" after the repetition of giving the tour got boring. They kept pressing on that and I was puzzled, because I didn't know how to answer before actually having experience performing the job. Finally, it left a bad taste in my mouth because they firmly did not validate parking in their own parking deck for interviewees, and I was never contacted after the interview.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at CNN

      Interview

      The video interview was very short and simple with only 6 or 7 questions total. It gave you two chances to answer. The time to prepare and read the questions did seem rather short as the questions were very long.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The first question just went over the qualifications (are you 21 or older with a college degree)?
