Penguin Random House interview questions

Had four interviews, including a mock sales pitch that ended with a conversation with the VP who asked if I had "any disruptive or unique ideas for the publishing industry" because he said young people often have ideas that people who have been in the industry don't think of because they're busy doing things the way they always have. Didn't get the job, but it felt gross to know he's taking ideas from interviewees and I would assume, if they're good, using them. He asked a lot of questions about how things are organized and work at my current job, which felt like he was just trying to get answers about the competition. Heard later that they didn't hire anyone after all that, just reorganized internally. Four interviews is just far too many, it's a waste of everyone's valuable time. Three of those interviews had multiple people in the room asking questions - I can't imaging they needed to all be there.
