I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Scholastic (New York, NY) in Apr 2012
Interview
it was a pretty standard process: tell about your background and what you want to do. They also ask what you want to learn and what you want to get out of it. overall it was straight forward.

Interview
Fairly straight forward. I applied through their company site, about 2 weeks later, I received an email from HR to set up a phone interview. A day or so after the phone interview, an in person interview was set up. The company office is centrally located and I believe, recently renovated - it looked nice! I met with the HR person briefly, who then escorted me to the hiring manager's office. The interview itself was easy and the people were friendly and accommodating. However, their follow through was really bad. I received a note that they'd contact me and they never did. And, I followed up after a few weeks and there was no response. They were very quick to get me in, but it was disheartening that they didn't bother to follow up after the fact. I've interviewed for both larger and smaller companies than Scholastic and most have had better etiquette to potential employees. It's a shame as I probably won't apply here again or recommend to a friend or coworker.
