I interviewed with three individuals on two separate occasions who asked straightforward questions about my background and skills and my desire for the job. The follow up from the interview process was quite discouraging, however. I assume I did not get the job because it's been more than two weeks since my last interview and I have not been contacted by anyone, despite submitting a brief book review and sending several follow up emails asking for an update. I know Skyhorse is a start up and doesn't have the manpower and resources of the Big Five, but this lack of transparency and professionalism in the interview process was very disappointing.

Behavioral Presentation
Got an email for the interview that was super brief and they only gave me one day's notice to come in. When I got there, they left me in a conference room for like 40 minutes. I was on time, but the hiring manager was 20-25 minutes late. Honestly, it didn't feel like much of an interview. Mostly, the hiring manager just talked about the company and the job. He asked me hardly any questions, and the ones he did ask were really short or he asked the same thing again. I admit I wasn't ready and wasn't at my best, especially since I had to leave home super early.

I found the job on Craigslist and they called me in for an interview pretty quickly. Right after that, they called me with an offer. They really want to get people hired fast.

Applied online and got a call for an interview. The interview itself was easy and straightforward, involving two separate conversations: one with an editor and another with the CFO.
