I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Discovery, Inc. (New York, NY)
Interview
Interview process included 1) HR, 2) Hiring manager, 3) Cross-functional colleagues. There were fairly sizeable gaps in between some of the rounds without any updates (2-3 weeks). HR rep was unable to provide updates during these times.
Learned I was not moving forward after receiving a templated email from HR. I was not provided with any reason for why I wasn't being considered. When I asked, I did not receive any specific feedback. Overall, very little respect or courtesy given to a candidate who had invested several months to the interview process.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Discovery, Inc.
Interview
Pretty straightforward interview with HR, VP and SVP of the group. Also included interviews with other groups to gauge how well we could work cross-functionally. The whole process was fairly quick - at least for a big media company.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Discovery, Inc. (Silver Spring, MD) in Jan 2012
Interview
Phone interview with HR was surprisingly standard. She literally said, "walk me through your resume." I spoke for 20 minutes straight without her saying a word. But somehow, that was enough. I was passed on to the second round where I interviewed with the hiring manager. That interview lasted about 45 minutes. There just wasn't a connection. Seemed as if they weren't that excited about filling the position, or what was going on at the company. The mood was a combination of self-satisfaction and general resentment. Not sure I would interview there again.
