      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at The Washington Post (Washington, DC)

      Interview

      The interview was really easy and they really only asked a few easy questions in the one round of interview. They wanted to know about projects and work stuff from my resume

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at The Washington Post

      Interview

      Interviewed a year ago for a Junior Software Engineer position. Process took 2 months, met with multiple people, including a coding challenge, and was told after the last round that they decided to go with an internal candidate. Recruiter was very unprofessional as he was never giving me updates unless I reached out and followed up with multiple emails. Just a shame that you spend so long in a process and have only good interactions with the hiring teams only to end the process like this. Would not recommend... Experience completely at odds with the company's image and so called 'values' on career website. Only giving this opinion to let you know - don't stress or take this process too seriously... recruiter doesn't treat you with respect
