I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at NBCUniversal (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2022
Interview
I'll be completely honest. Least favorite part is how many hoops they force you to jump through, and then they have the audacity to say they cannot provide feedback to rejected candidates. Many candidates pour their hearts and souls into this job for being the few paid positions in this industry. Please help us out here. Application process was pretty simple: Apply online with resume, cover letter, 2 short essays, and 1 longer essay about which NBCU principle best embodies me. Followed by a recorded video interview (very dehumanizing, but was doable). 5 questions, I believe, with 1 redo. 30 seconds to prepare and 1 minute 30 seconds to answer. Then it's the infamous NBC panel interview, which is one day of a group interview with 2 questions, followed by a small group activity, and then a 1-on-1 with the recruiter. The panel is the final step.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
For recorded video interview: 1. Elevator pitch: describe myself 2. One mistake I made, and how I overcame it 3. Why am I a strong fit for the page program and NBCU? 4. A time when I resolved a conflict/disagreement? 5. Something I could give a lecture on? For panel interview: 1. Something I am currently learning 2. A time I was forced to step outside of my comfort zone. 1-on-1: 1. You are not guaranteed a placement into a department that I want to work with. Describe a time you dealt with a situation that was not the most ideal. 2. Another conflict resolution example. 3. Other general questions testing if you'd be super happy as a page.

Interview
First is a standard application process. Second interview is a HireVue with 4 total questions. Final interview is a 3-hour long panel interview with other candidates. For the final interview, you have a ground project, individual questions within the entire group, and a 30-minute 1-on-1 interview.
You are required to upload a resume and an optional cover letter which I did. Then they send a hireview with four questions. Overall it is a simple process and easy to follow.

Interview
Former intern hirevue- past interns did screening first then regular applicants. Process was pretty standard and very quick. I was asked three questions; the fourth was to upload my resume. Waiting to hear back took about a month.
