Talked to two people, both were very friendly. The conversations were pretty unique and interesting. Unfortunately, haven't heard back from them, but the interviews themselves were very pleasant, which is why I'm writing this review.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at IB Times (Bengaluru) in Nov 2017
Interview
I cannot say, if that was an interview at the India office. Probably, I heard right from my friends who are ex-employees of IBTimes India.
They are not concerned, if you have a proper degree in journalism, have a good track record or can report good stories. All they were concerned was, if an employee can produce enough content for the day to generate business (insane, isn't?)
The word, "reporter" means different in IBTimes. No original content required. All you have to do is, refurbish stories from other media houses. That's it!
