I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at ESPN (Bristol, CT) in Feb 2011
Interview
I was asked multiple, specific questions about sports. The asked me about Heisman Trophy winners, and questions about various details about sports. It lasted about 2 hours and it was like being on Sports Jeopardy. It was very difficult.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at ESPN (Bristol, CT)
Interview
Phone call with the head of the program. Lots of information thrown out there. They'll ask question about sports. Don't have to know them all but you should. Plenty of people want to work there. Show them YOUR value.
Good interview process, everything was clear and good communication. They love to hire fans so knowledge on sports and the company is fundamental! the first phase of it though, is based mostly on basic interview questions and they are not hard to pass. Have a great mindset, relax and it will be fine.
Initial screening phone call, followed by a Zoom knowledge test for the position and then a final Zoom with multiple employees throughout the company with more targeted questions regarding working at the company.
