Other Production Editor interview reviews for O'Reilly Media
Initial screening interview was by phone with an HR employee and lasted 30 minutes. The interviewer began with basic questions about eligibility to work in the US and then asked questions about work history and employment goals.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at O'Reilly Media (Boston, MA)
Interview
Phone screening followed by in-person interviews with various members of the production team. There was also a line editing test to test my skills. The interview was fairly laid back, and I had a chance to ask questions of everyone I spoke to.
