I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Penguin Random House (Westminster, MD) in Oct 2018
Interview
Had the interview after being recommended by another department. I had interviewed with the DMS department a month prior. I was told it was a great recommendation. I thought the interview went well. They were all very kind. I heard under 2 weeks later by email that I was not fit for the job that I have 7 years experience in.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Penguin Random House (New York, NY) in Sep 2018
Interview
The process started with a brief phone interview with the recruiter. Then quickly went to a second in-person interview with the manager. The second interview involved a few questions and a test on using the software involved in the position. Then a third interview with some managers in the Colorado office.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your favorite part of the publishing process?
I met an HR recruiter who then asked me the standard interview questions: my background and education, previous work experience I've held, past internships and interest and publishing. I was then introduce to the Associate Publisher at the imprint I had applied to intern with, and was asked similar questions.
