I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Penguin Random House in Oct 2019
Interview
After a phone screen in which I mentioned my salary requirements and was told the position was in that range, the in-person interview informed me the salary for the position was actually well below my requirements, and the position considerably below my experience level. All in all, a colossal waste of time that could have been avoided had the phone screen been accurate about the job's experience level and salary. Not sure how this sort of mistake can happen at a company as large as Penguin Random House.

Interview
A relatively short, and to-the-point phone interview with a recruiter from the company. Interview was less than 15 minutes and I was asked more about my interest in publishing rather than skills that qualified me for the position.
