I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Macmillan (New York, NY) in May 2015
Interview
I was first contacted by an HR associate about their interest in my application for this summer internship. Then, I was asked to have a phone interview with the assistant editor of the imprint I'd be working for. After a friendly and successful interview, I was offered the internship based on the phone interview. I was not asked for an in-person interview as they needed to fill the position quickly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about your previous internship experience.
Had a casual video call with an employee of the marketing team, answered basic interview questions, later received an assignment via email, completed it, and was ultimately rejected after submission
Very straightforward, interviewed once with a senior art director and an associate senior art director who became my direct supervisor as an intern. We talked about my design experience and skills, what I was doing in school, book and design trends and the different requirements for the job.

What is your experience level with Adobe InDesign and Photoshop?
It was a very conversational interview with a lot of room for questions. Very open about how the internship operates, asked about how past experience might apply to the tasks.
