Almost too easy. All behavioral. Turnover is so high it makes sense that they really base hires off of personality and not skillset. Just act interested and do a bit of research and that's really all you need.

Interview
All participants were very nice and responsive in the interview process. Started with an email, then a phone call, and then an in-person interview and a design test. After the design test, there was feedback and an opportunity for a re-submission.
I applied online. I interviewed at Penguin Random House in Nov 2020
Interview
About a month after submitting a resume and cover letter online, I received a call from a recruiter to set up a screening. After that went well, I had a video interview a week later with the two editors I would work with. After a few days, I was given an assignment to complete and return in a timely manner. I followed up after not hearing back for a week and was told they needed more time. A few days after that, I was informed in a polite and personal email that I was not chosen. Overall a very good process, it just took a little longer because they interviewed mannnnyyy people.
