      Director Interview

      7 May 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Toronto, ON
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Penguin Random House (Toronto, ON)

      Interview

      The interviewer was late and unprepared. He spent most of his time on his phone answering emails and Slack messages. At one point I thought of leaving the room, just to see if he'd notice. It turns out a candidate has already been chosen and he was going through the motions of meeting us all.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How would you do this job? Why do you think you'd be a good fit for this position? What do you think are the priorities for this role?
