I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Discovery, Inc. (New York, NY) in Feb 2014
Interview
Phone interview, then an online web interview, then had an in person interview at their headquarters. Overall took a month. Nice HR people and friendly to talk too. Send a thank you note after the interview. They'll call you afterwards if they are interested in you and then will send an official offer with the paperwork.
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.
