Initial phone screen is basic and brief. They don't go into much detail and won't ask you much. Interview process is robust. You meet with the hiring manager, hiring manager's manager, stakeholders, and in certain cases the team you will be working with. Expect at least two hours of back to back interviews and they may call you in for a second round.
Recruiter call was pretty straightforward. After that, I talked to hiring manager and people manager. The questions are quite simple, but they look for ppl who show NYT missions and values.
First I had a phone screen, and then a video call with the hiring manager. The phone screen was very informal and casual, whereas the interview with the hiring manager was more structured and had questions that were relevant to the specific team and role.
1. Hiring Manager round - Discussion about the current projects and how would you apply that experience at NYT
2. 4 stakeholder rounds - You meet the people you are going to work and deep dive into product strategy and execution.
3. Final VP round
