The process was overall normal. Macmillan is interesting because I've never had a phone screening for a position; they just invite you to come in. I had an in-person interview directly with the hiring manager. The interview was fine. I didn't hear back for 4 weeks and didn't get the job. Then I got a call from the imprint that I'd interviewed for, and the manager told me why I was rejected. As much as I respect that they got back to me, I would have preferred a simple email. When people get a call it gets their hopes up and it definitely got mine up. I'm fine with getting rejected--it's part of the publishing industry. But it sucks to get a call thinking it could be good news.

Recruiter reached out to schedule a call within the week with the hiring manager for a 30 minute call. Hiring manager is nice. Would recommend writing a cover letter for the role.
