The interview process at Editorialist was very thorough. I spoke with a wide range of people across different teams, and almost everyone I met was sharp, thoughtful, and clearly knew their area well. However, the process was also quite slow and felt unstructured. There were long gaps between conversations, and it wasn’t always clear what the next step was supposed to be. There seemed to be no real plan for who was covering which topic. I often had similar conversations more than once, which made the whole thing feel a little chaotic. It’s clear that the company is trying to be thoughtful about hiring, but the lack of coordination made the process feel frustrating and longer than it needed to be.
