I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Pearson (Boston, MA) in Feb 2010
Interview
I phone interviewed with the editor I would be directly working for. Then was interviewed in person by the editor. Then interviewed with the vice president (that was mostly an informational meeting). The one that mattered was the editor, and I think it was mostly to see if there was a match in personality. Every editor seemed to have their own way of choosing.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson (Noida) in Mar 2022
Interview
An in-house editor set up a 20-30 minutes call on Microsoft Teams. For background, I have never worked in a publishing house, and it was my first interview. Overall, the interviewer was professional, and at the end of the call, he gave me a few pointers to improve my future interviews.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
How many levels of editing are there? What level of editing do you do?
The job can get hectic, and you may have to put in extra hours. How good are you at handling pressure, assuming that all the titles you work on are on priority?
You will communicate with clients and the editor and tally their suggestions and editing. How will you organize it? Are you proficient in spreadsheets?

Interview
Had to complete an awkward online video "interview" which took nearly 2 hours. Questions were vague and did not really allow me to sell myself like they wanted. Would have killed an in-person interview.

Interview
Três entrevistas: duas com o RH, e uma com a gestora da área. As entrevistas com o RH foram mais específicas quanto ao cargo, a com a gestora foi mais uma conversa informal.
