J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. J'ai passé un entretien chez ESPN (Bristol, CT) en juil. 2023
Entretien
One phone screening interview and one virtual interview with two of their hiring managers. Asked me mostly general interview questions, such as, "tell me about yourself", "tell me about a hard decision you had to make", etc. Only a few sport related questions.

J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez ESPN
Entretien
Long, arduous, and very time consuming.
Before even interviewing, applicants take an open-book assessment exam to qualify. Then, there were 10 (ten) interviews with various managers in departments and HR. After the first three or four, ESPN brings you out to the campus in Bristol. Two-days worth of interviews and shadowing followed.
Upside: Everyone was more than friendly and accommodating. Had they been disagreeable, it would have been a tougher process.

Why work in sports statistics?
J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez ESPN (San Jose, CA)
Entretien
The interview questions were reasonable and straight forward, but the Sports Assessment test was more challenging that I had anticipated because of the time limit that the system imposes upon the interviewee. Although I thought I had a reasonable amount of sports knowledge, I learned that there is much more to follow if I want to work as a statistics analyst.
