I applied online. I interviewed at Penguin Random House in Feb 2021
Interview
The interview was short and the staff was super friendly, the questions were mostly behavioral and talking about past experiences. It was a brief zoom interview and there was more emphasis on behavior than focusing on typical resume questions, which I appreciated.
