I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Penguin Random House (New York, NY)
Interview
I had five rounds of interviews, but this was for a particularly complex manager so it made sense. Round 1 was a phone interview with the recruiter, round 2 was with HR, round 3 was with the manager I was going to work with, round 4 was three back to back mini interviews with colleagues, and the final round was with the manager again. It took about a week for them to offer me the job after my last interview and the entire process took about a month.
