It was average-a phone screen, phone interview and finally in person for a meeting with several different people. Tip: Ask who you will be interviewing with and research them as much as possible.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Naples Daily News (Naples, FL) in Aug 2016
Interview

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
