      Researcher Interview

      27 Jul 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Bristol, CT
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at ESPN (Bristol, CT) in Mar 2012

      Interview

      The level of communication throughout the entire process was fantastic. ESPN responded to my online application in a timely manner. I started with a phone interview within a week of the initial contact. I was then flown to NYC for an interview with several people. My HR contact made all of my travel arrangements. All expenses were covered except parking at the airport. The next step was an interview at the Bristol location. Once again, all my expenses were covered. They could not have made the process any easier.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The most difficult question was when one individual asked my to solve a technical issue they were having, without my seeing the system. I am a visual person so this was very challenging.
