I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Penguin Group (New York, NY) in Sept 2010
Interview
HR was very quick to respond to my application. They phoned within a day or two to conduct a phone interview, which lasted about 20 minutes. Directly following the call I was invited to an in-office interview. It took place the following week and I met with staff from HR and the sales department. The HR part consisted of the typical HR questions: tell me about a time when.... you had to improvise, work with someone you didn't get along with, etc. The part where I met people in the department was really laid back. It was a run through of my resume and chit chat about what I was reading at the moment. All in all, a good interview experience. It took more than 2 two weeks for them to get back to me -- twice as long as they had said.
