My interview consisted of four steps - a phone screening, two separate interviews with the manager and assistant manager of digital, and a third interview with the head of Young Adult books. The interviews were enjoyable and conversational, as we talked about our favorite books and what drew me to this particular area of publishing. The fourth step in the process was submitting an assignment, which I did promptly. After that, I didn't hear anything. My assignment was an online article, which I could track activity on, and I saw that it was never opened after I submitted. A week later I followed up with HR, and was told the position had been filled. Overall, the experience was positive, but knowing that the work I was asked to submit was not even reviewed really soured the entire process for me.

Started with the recruiter (HR) to discuss salary expectations before the interviews with hiring managers. I went through about four interviews total. Overall, they were very friendly and thoughtful people.
