I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Penguin Random House (Londres, Inglaterra) in Dec 2023
Interview
Typical 2 round interview, which also included an audio test.
The difficulty faced was during the 2nd interview, speaking to the head of Audio for the UK branch. I felt questions were very vague.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One issue I faced when interviewing for the second round, I wasn't asked certain questions which I felt were important to cover, considering the role. To then receive feedback stating 'I didn't cover certain aspects or questions' during the interview is unfair. I wasn't asked certain questions and didn't feel that could get my point across regarding these imaginary questions due to them dictating the interview.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Penguin Random House in Jul 2022
Interview
I had an employee referral, someone from PRH's HR reached out to me via email to set up a screening call. From there I met with the publicity director for an interview, then a meeting with who I would report directly to. The process took a month total.

I applied online. I interviewed at Penguin Random House (Londres, Inglaterra) in Oct 2023
Interview
Online tests, 2 intro calls and then an in person interview. Questions were all cv based and personality focused. Everyone I met was polite and friendly. I was quite nervous and they made me feel at ease.
