I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Warner Bros. Discovery (Atlanta, GA) in Dec 2016
Interview
1. Was contacted by HR and they gathered basic info about me.
Why are you looking for a new position?
What is your desired salary level?
etc...
2. A software development manager (my future boss) sent me a object oriented coding challenge that I could do in any language and I had to solve in an hour.
3. I was brought on-site and has to answer the following:
- Design a relational database model
- Design a front-end model for a playlist of songs
- Complete an algorithmic challenge in any language
- answer a handful of various miscellaneous questions
- Everyone was very nice, helpful, and relaxed during the interview and I thoroughly enjoyed the process. Finally my future boss took me on a tour of the CNN Center, including inside a control room and on the research floor.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
On-site questions:
Relational Database: How would you design a relational database model given blah, blah, blah. I sketched out on the whiteboard some tables with many-to-many/one-to-many relationships & sample data, wrote queries to pull certain data, and then answered some database questions such as what is an index? what would you want one? what is a downside to creating an index?
Design a front-end using html, css, and JavaScript/jQuery. Design a music player. I made JavaScript/json objects of a playlist and of a complete library of songs. I wrote-out some html/css of how the song/artist/album/etc info would appear to the user, made a play button with javascript behind it, etc.
Algorithmic question to be solved in any language: Write code to determine if a string is a palindrome. Once finished, they said, ok, now write it recursively and the function can only take in one parameter.
They gave me some JavaScript code followed by an ajax call with an onSuccess, followed by more code and asked in what order console.log statements would output.
They gave me some JavaScript code that contained closures/scope/hoisting and console.log statements at various points in the code and asked what the output would be at those points.

I applied online. I interviewed at Warner Bros. Discovery (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2026
Interview
I do not question the interview; it is their way of doing things, but the feedback was neither constructive nor open. The Talent Acquisitions team got back to me and reached out to TA to give more details. The hiring team is not organized because they could not set a time for weeks, even though I provided several options. They do not have modern tools to help schedule interviews.

Question 1
General introduction of your profile and Langton's Ant LeetCode problem.
I interviewed at Warner Bros. Discovery (Bengaluru)
Interview
The interview process felt disorganized, with rounds happening in an unusual order — it started with an initial discussion with a senior manager, followed by an operational excellence round, then system design, and finally the coding round.
