I interviewed at Sony Music Entertainment (London, England)
Interview
Long, it takes months. A very long application process, making a video of yourself answering questions. Very little feedback. They say you don't need to show your face but they want to see your face. They ONLY take people who have a background in music, everyone else is welcome to apply but you won't get anywhere with Sony Music. For some reason they think only people with a background in the music business can do an internship. Rubbish process. Antiquated application process where they ask you to make a video.
