I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Macmillan (New York, NY) in Apr 2016
Interview
Contacted on very short notice for the final day of interviews. HR asked for an in-office interview although my application stated I'm outside the metro area. HR and the department I interviewed with was very accommodating to my request for a video interview. I spoke with several editors and the process took a total of about 2 hours.

Interview
Very impersonal and unresponsive recruiter, absolutely no clarity during the process, and was ghosted after interview with no follow up. Even if they weren't interested in proceeding, I would expect basic professionalism and politeness. Wouldn't be interested in working with a company that handles the hiring process this way.
