I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at New Relic in Aug 2017
Interview
The first interview was an informal coffee meeting with the team manager. Then, I had about a week to complete a writing assignment.
The second interview was an on-site that lasted about 7 hours with about 10 interviewers, including the entire tech writing team, a Product Manager, a Content Strategist, and a Technical Support Engineer. Each interviewer spent about 45 minutes asking and taking questions, with a break in the middle to lunch with two of the Tech Writers in the office lunchroom.
