I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Penguin Random House (London, England) in Apr 2019
Interview
Applied with CV and cover letter. Was asked to prepare publicity campaigns for two books to discuss at interview. Interviewers were friendly, got a good sense of the office. Was asked to come back for a second interview, think that would have been a final one if successful.
