It was a fairly quick chat. Went through resume, standard PM questions, went through work history, etc. Altogether pleasant. Could have been clearer about the projects that the position entailed.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at New York Times (New York, NY) in Aug 2025
Interview
Recruiter was really nice during the interview. I thought it went well but didn't went through to round 1. Very open to answer questions and very nice about being conversationalist, and talk about other things.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself
Product that I worked on - E2E - specifically + any metrics
Subscriptions - growth - drop off rate - sign up process - potentially a fit
How closely do I work with engineer?
Why NYT?
quick 15 minute phone screening, very simple just a description of past experience, elevator pitch, etc.
Interviewer was nice and professional, got response fairly quickly. Didn't get past first interview but my understanding is that interviews with the team would have been next.
