I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Paramount in Aug 2016
Interview
I was contacted via email to arrange a screening call, where the recruiter was very engaging and detailed the process and culture. Was put through for a skills test, which was repeatedly rescheduled, finally happening about 4 weeks later. The skills test went smoothly albeit rushed and was performed by a peer - who had himself only worked for the company for a (very) short period of time. My take home of the interview was that I didn't have his full attention and didn't get to showcase previous achievements and/or talent.
After the interview completed there was slim to 0 followup from the recruiter, and after chasing was told the department was over-loaded and refusing to provide feedback.

Question 1
Are you aware of the current events/press interest involving the senior leadership of the company?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Paramount (New York, NY) in Jan 2022
Interview
Zoom interview set up through SVP's assistant, was only half an hour and felt a bit rushed. Details on the job weren't offered until the end of the interview when requested and didn't offer a complete picture of the position. It was challenging to tailor responses to interview questions without having a better understanding of the role.

Question 1
What project are you most proud of?
When were you most challenged but turned it into an opportunity?
It was a difficult interview but one that I could eventually get through and answer everything they wanted to know. Hard questions but fair given the job. They asked things like "what is the price of life?"
