Penguin Random House interview questions

I applied to Penguin Random House three months before I actually received a call from them. The entire process took around a week and a half. When they called it was a sudden phone interview with a HR employee. I received a call four days later to schedule an interview which was two days later. Four days after the interview I received an email with my offer letter and other important documents! It is safe to say that the phone interview was the most important part, and the in person interview was more of an information session about the company and position. It also gives them a way to get to know you! It was very laid back and no tough questions were asked.

I originally applied online a couple months out for one of their semester internship programs but it was quick and easy once things got moving. I got a phone call from an HR rep who asked me what areas I would like to work in and then received a follow up call a few days later to schedule an interview. The actually interview was relaxed, conversational and very friendly. I was asked to supply an example of my writing. Standard interview questions mixed with personal interest in publishing. Received and accepted my offer the same day as my interview.
