I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Penguin Random House (New York, NY) in May 2022
Interview
There were two rounds of interviews; an HR call and a call with people from the sales team. Overall, everyone was really nice to speak with. The questions were all behavioral plus some stuff about why publishing/why PRH.
