I applied online. I interviewed at Penguin Random House
Interview
Interviewed over Zoom. Prior to the interview, I had to read a couple of manuscripts and write evaluations of them. They got back to me about their decision within a few days of the interview. I appreciated that they had me practice some of the essential duties of the position and that they did not ghost me.

Examples from the past project and job roles, situational questions, salary expectations and why the company, strategic and oriented questions also.
Preliminary behavioral interview (30 minutes), Skills Test (Presentation), and Interview with CSO. Fairly straightforward and not as rigorous as expected. Questions were primarily behavioral and focused on work experience and ability to navigate a fast-paced work environment.
