What interview questions does The New York Times ask?
Why The New York Times? Do you read NYT regularly? Skill questions
That depends on your interviewer. My interviews were long enough ago that I don't remember.
What's the interview process like at The New York Times?
Meilleure réponse des employés
Way too many interviews. Some departments can get by with 1-2 if hiring a friend, others require 6+ interviews
Depends on the position, but for newsroom positions, it's pretty rigorous.
What part of The New York Times's business is growing fastest? What part is having difficulties?
Digital is growing the fastest, print the slowest. But print still pays the bills
Web business is good. The print side, not so much. Like any other publication, I guess.
If you could make changes, how would you improve the culture at The New York Times?
Be less cliquish.
The majority of problems seem to stem from lack of communication and lack of defined "ownership," so we need to FORCE collaboration and realistic swim lanes, until it becomes an organic part of the culture.
How's the work life balance at The New York Times?
None. Meredith doesn't want anyone married or with kids on the staff. Folks over 35 also aren't welcomed there.
This is actually great on the business side. I hardly ever get night or weekend emails.
What are your coworkers at The New York Times like?
Fun, hardworking, conscientious
Right now there is a mix of both the old and new guard, so there is a lot of internal politics and friction between the two. Need more open minded folks to join the company to truly shift the culture in the right direction.
What benefits does The New York Times provide?
Health, dental and vision. Family leave (maternity, paternity, etc.)
PTO, Standard Holidays, choice of HM0/PPO/Medical Savings Plan. Tuition Plan, Fertility Benefits, Adoption Benefits
How are layoffs handled in the Engineering department at The New York Times?
Really haven't had any massive ones over the past 6 years. If we did layoffs it was because individuals were not performing well enough.
How can I improve my chances of being hired at The New York Times?
Don't write a resume full of buzz-words, it's super easy to tell and makes it seem like you're covering up for lack of experience. Attend NYC meetups and see if you can get in touch with any NYTimes employees there.
What kind of people succeed at The New York Times?
Meilleure réponse des employés
People who care more about the mission than anything else but then right after that care deeply about their area of professional focus. Proactive people that have an attitude of focusing on their area of influence rather than just their area of concern. Complacent, negative, or toxic people don't last long.
What does the ideal candidate in the Engineering department look like at The New York Times?
Needs to be current on new technology trends, we're pretty modern when it comes to our tech stacks. Full-stack knowledge is important, with "DevOps" knowledge being important to have on a fundamental level even if you're a software engineer. We need strong engineers, so it's important to have the fundamentals down and practice building applications to scale (hint: build some free app on App Engine and learn basics of how scaling works and how to properly deploy/manage your application).
What's the work from home policy like at The New York Times?
Meilleure réponse des employés
Very flexible but still a work in progress. Remote work is acceptable and we now have quite a few full-time remote workers. Working from once a week is pretty normal, more than that depends on the team. Overall a remote work friendly culture that's still in the early/mid stage of maturing.
What unique perks and benefits does The New York Times provide?
$8,000/year tuition reimbursement
How does The New York Times make decisions around promotions?
It's who you know sometimes.
What do people at The New York Times think about the CEO? What do they do well and what can they improve?
People see the culture coming from the CEO, so it's not that positive of an opinion. He comes across as a micro-manager that breeds a focus on immediate performance, rather than long-term success.
What's the company culture like at The New York Times?
Like high school
