I applied online. I interviewed at Condé Nast (London, England) in Sept 2021
Interview
All of the candidates were placed in a room with singular chairs spread out. There was a very brief presentation of the company and what the job involved. We were then told that we would have to do a psychometric paper test whilst waiting for a one-on-one conversation. Due to Covid, we had to stay in our uncomfortable seats, which meant I was given a magazine to lean on to fill in this dense and badly printed document.
Once called in, I was only there for 3 minutes, and was asked questions more about the company rather than a traditional interview, and was very disarmed about how casual it was.
Considering I was given less than two days' notice to get down to London, I had to pay a very expensive train fare. When I asked about expenses later in an email, I was told the company does not pay them.
I felt as if the process was very old fashioned and could have saved so much more time and personal expenses being through an online interview and call.

Interview
Firstly was in a room with 6 other candidates for the first round in the Vogue House. Introduction to the job/the process that day. We were given around 45 minutes to complete an aptitude test (questions about yourself and your thoughts). During this time got taken into a private room for a 5 minute interview, more of a chat really. Got invited to the next round which was a zoom call online, asking about my past around education and my hobbies/extracurricular activity's

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Condé Nast (London, England) in July 2022
Interview
The interview consisted of a short presentation about the company and job role. We then sat in a group situation to undertake a long but easy personality style test. Whilst we took the test, individuals were pulled aside for very very short interviews. THEY DON'T PAY FOR TRAVEL
