I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Macmillan (New York, NY) in Mar 2016
Interview
Very Brief. The interview was done over the phone. The woman was very friendly and explained the position and what they were looking for very clearly. The interview only lasted around 15 minutes.

Question 1
She asked for me to walk her through my resume. She choose which parts she wanted me to explain, focusing on publishing and communications-related positions.
Had a casual video call with an employee of the marketing team, answered basic interview questions, later received an assignment via email, completed it, and was ultimately rejected after submission
Very straightforward, interviewed once with a senior art director and an associate senior art director who became my direct supervisor as an intern. We talked about my design experience and skills, what I was doing in school, book and design trends and the different requirements for the job.
