      Internship Interview

      3 Jun 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Penguin Random House in Apr 2026

      Interview

      Had a quick hr screening. Ayesha was very helpful and helped me prepare for the actual interview. The second internview was with a designer and production specialist. They were very lovely. I already had tons of experience, and I was probably overqualified for this internship. But in the end, they decided not to go with me. I think it really is all about vibes. If you can connect with the two people you'll be working with, that's how you'll increase your chances. Overall, I had lovely conversations with them, but I'm sure there another candidate that was the perfect pick.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      (This internship was for art & design, and they did not ask anything about my design capabilities) How do you stay organized when juggling multiple projects?

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Penguin Random House (London, England)

      Interview

      It was a self recorded interview using the platform Hireview. There were three questions in total, with around 2 minutes to answer the question with 1 minute preparation. In my opinion, it's a not so easy format for an interview as I much prefer face to face interviews.
