I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Condé Nast (New York, NY) in Jan 2011
Interview
I first went through a phone interview with one of the employees at Conde Nast. The phone interview was very cordial and brief, and lasted about 5 minutes at most. I was asked about my background, why I wanted to work at Conde Nast and also my experience. I was contacted back a few minutes later and was scheduled a face to face interview with another person. The interview was very similar to the phone interview and the interviewer was very friendly throughout the interviewing process.
Average interview
Application
I interviewed at Condé Nast (New York, NY)
Interview
There was one screening interview with an HR representative, and then one interview with a hiring manager. Neither one was more than 30 minutes. The HR representative called to offer the job.
Application process was pretty simple. First stage was the application, then you had a video task. Then a final interview. Advice would be to really research the company e.g recent news and understand the company values.
