I applied online. I interviewed at Penguin Random House (New York, NY) in Jan 2014
Interview
I originally applied online a couple months out for one of their semester internship programs but it was quick and easy once things got moving. I got a phone call from an HR rep who asked me what areas I would like to work in and then received a follow up call a few days later to schedule an interview. The actually interview was relaxed, conversational and very friendly. I was asked to supply an example of my writing. Standard interview questions mixed with personal interest in publishing. Received and accepted my offer the same day as my interview.

A series of psychological questions that i had to record my responses to and then send. After being asked a question, I would have a few minutes to respond to it.
I applied online. I interviewed at Penguin Random House (New York, NY) in Jan 2016
Interview
Interviewed with the entire team. Each asked good, relevant questions to the area of the company they manage. It was very conversational. Afterwards, there was a skills test that was very tailored to the product employees actually work with. I got to see the offices I would be working in, and overall it was a very pleasant experience. None of the questions were superfluous to the job.
