I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Penguin Random House (New York, NY) in Sep 2016
Interview
Brief interview with HR, extended interview with senior staff member. The interview with HR felt a bit perfunctory, the extended interview with the senior staff member was lovely and engaging--a real conversation.
