Great benefits where you don't pay for health insurance and they do a 50% 401k match.
Conversion to full-time from freelance is likely to happen and can be quick.
Beautiful building with good city views from the balcony and from upper floors.
Good facilities for TV news.
Worked with a couple of good managers.
Quicktake show is great.
Base pay isn't very high; it is lower than other major TV networks.
Because base pay is lower, they tend to hire less than competent employees (this is more in the tech operations department. The editorial team is not nearly this way, since you actually need a deep finance/journalism background).
Have all full-time staff on 9-hour shifts daily with no overtime pay.
Turnover of managers and employees happens, so new managers who are learning the ropes of the position don't manage well at times.
Need to deal with boring finance news.
You cannot expect tech operators to stay long if the salary is not competitive.
Be objective when there are any conflicts.
Understand that 9 hours of work per day will burn out an employee at a workplace fast.
5 interview rounds: 3 LeetCode, 1 HR, 1 EM. LeetCode rounds are simply tagged as LeetCode. The HR round consists of standard behavioral questions. The EM round is a deep dive into one specific project and the challenges you encountered.
1 technical phone screen, 2 technical in-person interviews (LeetCode questions), 1 HR, and 1 EM round. For the EM round, I was asked about past projects and to explain a random topic.
Multiple rounds of technical interviews. Didn't get passed round one despite answering all the questions and any followups they had. It was two LeetCode questions, and you would write out your code on a HackerRank interface.
