I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at New York Times in Mar 2022
Interview
Ghosted! What a disappointing experience. I have been a long time subscriber and admirer of the New York Times. After completing all rounds of interviews, silence, No response to email. No communication whatsoever.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Many typical behavioral questions. "Tell me about a time..."
Recruiter call was pretty straightforward. After that, I talked to hiring manager and people manager. The questions are quite simple, but they look for ppl who show NYT missions and values.
1. Hiring Manager round - Discussion about the current projects and how would you apply that experience at NYT
2. 4 stakeholder rounds - You meet the people you are going to work and deep dive into product strategy and execution.
3. Final VP round
First I had a phone screen, and then a video call with the hiring manager. The phone screen was very informal and casual, whereas the interview with the hiring manager was more structured and had questions that were relevant to the specific team and role.
