I met with the editor in New York. The job interview was conversational and friendly. He wanted to know about working conditions, my desired salary, and described the number of pieces he wanted me to write. His assistant called the next day and told me that I got the job.

It was over the phone with an HR executive. I felt it was very formulaic, and the interviewer did not seem interested in my responses. When I told her about my background, the highlights of my accomplishments there were pauses, as if she were multitasking.

It was a lengthy interview process with many 1:1 conversations across the newsroom with stakeholders on several teams, including the one I would eventually join. Entire process spanned months from application to offer.

This job application took up a lot of my time. The interview process included HR, a hiring manager, and a written test — which, importantly, was unpaid and required candidates to spend a significant amount of time completing it. I prepared extensively, but ultimately didn’t get the job. What was especially disappointing was that HR responded with nothing more than a generic rejection email.
For a company like The New York Times, asking so much from applicants — time, effort, and detailed preparation — only to offer zero meaningful feedback, is deeply disheartening.
