Question 1
What are your long term goals for this position? What do you consume?
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gawker Media (New York, NY) in Dec 2011
Interview
Informal, low-key. A one-on-one meeting with a senior person at the company. Did not take place in the office - perhaps at a bar or restaurant. I had been referred by a mutual friend.

Question 1
Why I would be a good fit for the job; what in my background would prepare me for the position; what vision I would have for my writing.
I had the opportunity to meet with employees from different departments with varying seniority. It gave great perspective into how the company is trying to evolve as a whole. Employees were either very appreciatively frank and realistic, or enthusiastic and hopeful. Good mix of people to want to work with.
The interview seemed organic like a conversation.
