I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Cengage (Boston, MA) in May 2018
Interview
After a brief HR phone screen, I interviewed with five people (three via phone or skype, one in person). Each interview was 30 minutes. All interviews were professional, informative and low-stress. Five days after my final interview, the HR recruiter called to offer me a job. Overall, a very positive experience!
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Cengage (Boston, MA) in Jan 2020
Interview
It's still ongoing! It started before Thanksgiving. I had about four Zoom interviews, they brought me to Boston a month ago, but still no word! I assume they don't want me and I've given up hope of ever hearing from them. I currently work for a rival publisher and we are encouraged to move the interview process along more smoothly. It seems a bit rude to leave potential hires on hold for so long without a single yay or nay.
