Mock assignment required before interview. Once successful, moved on to a Zoom interview with two people. Asked basic questions about interest and experience. Bit of a good cop-bad cop thing going on. Were not very clear about pay, time involvement, and job difficulty. I asked several questions for clarity. They seemed to interpret that as a lack of confidence. They also asked for references before giving me any salary information.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hearst (Stoke-on-Trent, England) in Aug 2021
Interview
First round: interview with a recruiter, followed by a take-home writing sample exercise
Second round: informal group interview
Third round: Provide professional references
Then I received a job offer
Interview was very laid back and conversational, very refreshing. Ultimately I declined due to pay. If you have a technical writing background, the pay is likely competitive. If you come from a retail automotive background, expect a large paycut.
