I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Discovery, Inc. in Nov 2018
Interview
After applying on line, about a week later I got an email asking me to complete a video interview on my own within the next 2 days or so. During that video interview I was prompted to answer 6-7 questions in about a minute each (staring at yourself on camera is strange but you get used to it). A couple of weeks after submitting the video interview I got an email from my future supervisor asking for a phone interview, where he mostly described the role and I told him a bit about myself. That same day a few hours later I got a call saying I had gotten the internship.

Question 1
During the phone interview, they asked me what Instagram pages I follow (it was the first question - threw me off a bit but made sense since I was interviewing for a position that would work in social media)
I was an unpaid intern at discovery and the interview process was smooth and supportive. Happy to report that the other interns I was with shared similar experiences. Now if only we had been paid the job, that would be amazing!

Question 1
What types of stories are you most passionate about?
disorganized and ghosted. scheduled very last minute and then never heard back, even after the thank you and follow up. this has happened across a few departments at discovery for me
I had a hirevue with pretty standard questions. I never heard back from them so took a job somewhere else. Prepare for it like how you would prepare for any interview. Nothing outrageously hard was asked.
