I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Condé Nast (New York, NY) in May 2015
Interview
I replied to the LinkedIn Pulse job post for CNE a division of CN with letter & portfolio. The lead engineer's assistant replied a few days later to schedule a phone interview with him, the lead engineer & the director of engineering.
Round 1: Phone Screen
I received the call & answered their usual questions. They were keen to emphasize they want full stack because the team operates that way, preferring "open collaboration" where anyone does as much as possible.
Round 2: tech test
I used the recommended 4.5-6hrs to complete the tech test which was to code thescene.com with the swiftype API & pushing to their private Git repo. It was really long & dissuading. I should've charged a fee.
Round 3: edits
Git commit messages & times were closely examined. They asked why I coded it the way I did, what I'd done differently, then asked if I could do those particular recommendations. I estimated it'd been another 2-3hrs.
I got a job elsewhere so I stopped spending time coding here.

I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Condé Nast (Bengaluru) in Dec 2022
Interview
I applied through college placement drive. During the pre-placement talk they said they ware looking for all B-tech backgrounds. The first one is online test which has aptitude, OOPs, DS MCQs and one programming question. They only had c++ and java compilers. We ware not informed of the limited choices nor its was mentioned in technical requirements. And the choice was deliberate as the web the test happened do provide more then c and java compilers.
