I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Oxford University Press (Cary, NC) in Jan 2018
Interview
When I arrived on-site, I met with the HR manager, who gave me an overview of the overall picture of what life at the company was like. Afterward, I met with two senior production editors to discuss the role in-depth. Once that was done, I met with the HR manager again to wrap up. Once I left, I didn't hear anything back for three weeks before finally being met with an email that said simply, "This job has been filled and we will no longer be accepting applications for this position." If you're trying to get a job with Oxford University Press, understand there's a high likelihood of getting strung along that comes as part of the hiring process.

Interview
2 stage interview, very approachable panel of 3. The second one seemed superfluous as the only difference was that an interviewer was replaced by a HR representative who asked all the same questions
Two rounds of interviews, fairly basic questions. If you’ve done production for a scholarly publisher, you know what to expect. Overall the people seemed friendly, and were interested in any experience working with offshore production suppliers.

Can you tell me about a project you worked on that you were particularly proud of.
