I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Penguin Random House
Interview
Very lengthy interview process. First interview was a phone screening with HR, second was in person with 2 art directors, and third was a zoom call with potential supervisors. The interviews took place weeks apart.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had difficulty managing multiple tasks and how did you get through it?
It was a normal process, not much information. I have to write these things to continue using this, I guess. They asked a question about my work experience and why I wanted to work there. I got a sample essay to edit.
Way too long. Had to chase many times.
Hated the video online interview technique.
Give the impression the company moves slowly, which it does. Need to speed up otherwise it doesn't look good
