      Administrative Assistant Interview

      21 Aug 2023
      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Penguin Random House (New York, NY)

      Interview

      I had five rounds of interviews, but this was for a particularly complex manager so it made sense. Round 1 was a phone interview with the recruiter, round 2 was with HR, round 3 was with the manager I was going to work with, round 4 was three back to back mini interviews with colleagues, and the final round was with the manager again. It took about a week for them to offer me the job after my last interview and the entire process took about a month.

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Penguin Random House (New York, NY) in Oct 2017

      Interview

      I applied online and was called in for an interview. I met with who would be my boss who asked me standard questions. After a few weeks I heard back from HR offering me the job and explaining the benefits. It was a very positive experience.
