J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Penguin Random House (New York, NY) en août 2019
Entretien
Received an email from an in-house recruiter about 1 month after applying for the internship position. We scheduled a phone call which lasted about 15 minutes. Next step was we coordinated an in-person interview with the supervisor for the internship. Within a few days I was offered the internship. Although I waited a month or more to hear anything back, the interview process was relatively short. It was a wonderful experience and I had the pleasure of meeting many great people.
J'ai passé un entretien chez Penguin Random House (Londres, Angleterre)
Entretien
Filled out 3 competency questions online, these were ten assessed and if you were rated highly you went to next round which was hireview, then if selected individual interview and a group task
Very nice interviewer, felt very conversational. I wasn't well-prepared, but as long as you know your resume well, you should be fine even though it is competitive. Very corporate feel as expected of such a large publishing group.
