I applied online. I interviewed at McGraw Hill (Columbus, OH) in Jan 2019
Interview
Absolutely disorganized and unprofessional. The recruiter in Ohio called me, had a great interview, said I'd have another phone screen. The next day I get a "no thank you email." The day after that the same recruiter calls me as if we had never spoken before, I fill her in and she apologizes and says, "You are on the short list, we need a woman in this position to balance out diversity." (Not kidding one bit, yes she said this.) Tells me next step is to meet with hiring manager. Never heard from her again, she doesn't return email or phone calls. What a screwed up organization.

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at McGraw Hill (New York, NY) in May 2016
Interview
I had a phone interview with recruiter 2 days after I applied for the position. A couple days later I had a phone interview with the hiring manager. After the interview, I followed up with the recruiter several times and she never returned my calls. I then waited 5 weeks and got the "thanks for your interest" email.
