Penguin Random House interview questions

(1) Completed internship with PRH Editorial team. (2) Applied for role with carefully tailored cover letter and CV. (3) First round online interview with a robot. (4) Second round online interview with an editor and senior editor. (5) Third round interview in person with three senior editors. (6) Never heard back.... (7) Followed up after 2 weeks only to receive an automated reply. * I'm a strong candidate and took the process seriously because I cared about the role and was excited to have the opportunity. It is exceptionally disappointing to have been let down by such a respectable company. All that effort and preparation and care for an automated rejection email after silence for two weeks?? Wow. I don't have much else to say.

I recently completed an interview process and found it to be a well-structured and professional experience overall. The process began with an initial screening that clearly outlined the role expectations and next steps. Communication throughout was timely, and I appreciated the transparency from the recruitment team. The interview itself was conducted in a professional and engaging manner. The interviewers were knowledgeable and asked a balanced mix of technical and behavioural questions, allowing me to demonstrate both my experience and problem-solving approach. I particularly valued the focus on real-world scenarios, which made the discussion practical and relevant.
