I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Penguin Random House (New York, NY) in Mar 2021
Interview
The interview was three rounds, one with the agency that arranged it, one with my direct supervisor, and the next with the head of communications. The questions were direct and specifically related to the day to day function of the job.
I interviewed at Penguin Random House (New York, NY)
Interview
Very communicative from start to finish. Excellent HR contact who let me know what was happening every step of the way. Required a good bit of pre-work; it was fine but a little frustrating that the job ended up being shelved for budget reasons.

Not bad at all, super easy not technical. Nail behavioral and why you want to work there, why this industry, etc. Nice interviewer as well can't complain. Really good people and culture overall.
