      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (United States)

      Interview

      The interview process was great. Everyone I met with was clear and respectful of my time. Wish the HR process was a little faster, it took much longer than needed to get back to me and the timeline for hiring was stretched out longer than originally stated.
