I applied online. I interviewed at Penguin Random House in Feb 2021
Interview
The interview was short and the staff was super friendly, the questions were mostly behavioral and talking about past experiences. It was a brief zoom interview and there was more emphasis on behavior than focusing on typical resume questions, which I appreciated.

I applied online. I interviewed at Penguin Random House
Interview
the first HR screening was basic questions like why marketing, what genres, etc. I honestly did really bad but somehow got to the next round with your two to-be supervisors. it was around 45min interview and also standard behavioral questions. everyone is very nice!
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Penguin Random House (New York, NY) in Dec 2024
Interview
Interviewers were so friendly and communicative. Willing to work with you. The only confusing part was I got denied the internship because I was “over-qualified” but then I wasn’t qualified enough for an entry level job
Questions on why I wanted the job as we toured around the floor. Laidback environment and friendly atmosphere. All in all a positive experience although this was some years ago.
