I interviewed at Penguin Random House (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
Formal and fair. Very personal and comfortable. A small excel test was given with 30mins to complete. This was very basic and nothing to study for (pivots, lookups, index). 30 word minimums are annoying, just so you know. At least have a counter to see how far off you are.
