I applied online. I interviewed at HBO Max (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
First I submitted a video interview through a platform online then was reached out via email regarding a phone interview with the specific department. In overall difficulty, it was average. Just make sure to do your research prior to the interview.

Question 1
Q: describe a time you were faced with a difficult challenge and how did you overcome it?
There are three rounds of interviews, beginning with an initial screening call with HR, followed by a detailed conversation with the hiring manager, and concluding with a comprehensive interview panel involving the full team.
It was a great interview experience. There was an online interview first, where I got asked fairly standard questions, like why HBO, what is your favorite content by us, etc. And then I had one interview with the managers in my role, and it was really just to get to know me.

What is something that you have been watching recently?
I had one HireVue and one zoom interview with the hiring managers. Both interviews contained a mix of situational questions and reviewing my own resume. The Zoom interview was 30 minutes and the managers were super nice
