I applied online. I interviewed at Discovery, Inc. (Silver Spring, MD) in Apr 2019
Interview
In depth and with many people from the company. They took it seriously and there was a wide breadth of due diligence. I felt that there was a big focus on fit which I appreciated.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Discovery, Inc. (Silver Spring, MD) in May 2013
Interview
I was referred by a friend in the industry to both the job and the hiring manager, so I detoured the HR nonsense. The hiring manager wasn't very personal and seemed rather skeptical of my interest in the job, which I thought was a weird way to react to someone who came from out of state to interview with her. I had to come back for a 2nd interview with her boss, who basically wanted to meet with me to make sure he had been looped into the "decision." That's how things work at Discovery. Routinely.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked who, if anyone, I knew that was talent on their smaller, less-known networks at the time. I was literally placed in front of a wall with pictures on them as was asked to name whoever I could. If I didn't know the answer, the hiring manager reacted in a very disappointed manner and then said nothing.
