Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you approach a problem if you didn't have the necessary data?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Athletic (London, England)
Interview
Very long and drawn out process that took 3-4 weeks. After the initial applicatoin you're set a social media task which takes a couple of hours as there's a few tasks to get through. If you pass that there's an in person interview at their branch which went well and the people that interviewed me were nice about it. Good questions too asking specifically for the role and what I can bring etc. After that there is a four-person interview with colleagues in the United States. Again, quite long and they asked questions specifically about their role and how you could work with them (Since you have to also do work about American sports).

Question 1
If you posted something that was factually incorrect, how would you go about rectifying this mistake.
Very thorough and in-depth. Was kept up to date throughout the entire process. Made it to the final interview. Was given good and honest feedback after I was not chosen for the position.
