The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Condé Nast (London, England) in May 2016
Interview
We were 15 candidates, we took a personality test during 1hr in the same room. During the test, the Director of Classified Deparmentt takes you for a very short (10 minutes) 1 to 1 interview. On the day of the interview, you have to bring a form of application: 2 pages to fill in with your personal details and previous experience + education. The Director will ask you questions based on what you have written on the form which is similar to your CV. no big surprises, straightforward questions. Hard to say if you did well or not because the questions are so easy. I think they look for a particular fit for the graduate scheme.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Where do you see yourself in 5 years
Why do you want to do this program?
Previous experience and how it relates
I applied online. I interviewed at Condé Nast in Aug 2022
Interview
Bit of a different interview format to other companies.
1st Interview: in-person resume screening, very brief.
2nd Interview: all about your childhood and your involvements at school.
(Didn't get a 3rd Interview - but I think it's with one of the managers and probably more job-specific)
All the staff were really nice and friendly but I think they look for a very specific fit (think posh, ex-head girl from London who plays netball) and are unlikely to go for anyone who doesn't fit that because they get new applications all the time from people who do.

I applied online. I interviewed at Condé Nast (London, England)
Interview
This was pre-covid and I travelled a long way for the interview without travel expenses paid. The interview itself was less than 5 minutes long. Also had to complete a test on paper asking interview style questions.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Condé Nast (London, England) in Nov 2019
Interview
Very quick interview, everyone in the group I was with were interviewed for under 5 minutes each whilst the rest answered a personality questionnaire. Only asked about three questions, what magazines of theirs I read, when I was ready to start and my previous experience.
