I am a developer at The Washington Post and I help build newsroom facing tools. I also am the Chair of the DC chapter of ACM and produce a podcast called DC Tech Stories.
I had an initial chat with people working in the post - I was talking to them already for some of the community organizing stuff that I do when they asked me to sit with a few people re. job. I was not looking at the time but was curious so sat down! After the first convo I talked for about an hour with my current manager and senior dev regarding their projects and culture. I spend about 3 hrs at the offices meeting with various people and chatting code - it was very laid back, more a conversation than a test/interview.
I know SOME teams do code tests/take home exercises but I did not have a specific one other than chatting back and forth about experience and tech
