I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sony Music Entertainment (New York, NY) in Jul 2015
Interview
My resume was forwarded to my supervisor by my previous supervisor in a different department, and I was called in for one interview, I interviewed directly 1 on 1 with one of the A&R administrative assistants (entry level). A week or 2 following my interview I received a call from the HR department. The entire process seemed relatively straight forward, but this may have had something to do with my inside track.

Question 1
What music I was currently listening to and where I found it.
Went through 4 interviews with different people in the span of a week, one also being a recorded video that was due in 48 hours. Interviewers were often late. After all these steps, received a copy and pasted rejection email with no feedback. Impersonal and not respectful of your time.
