Book focused, went over assignment/readers review, trying to assess taste and reading interests, 2 rounds plus the manuscript review and very competitive with agents interviewing multiple candidates, timeline often unclear

For the first stage of the interview (about a week after submitting my resume), I received a manuscript to review and write a reader's report on (1 page summary, 2 page analysis). A few days after I submitted my report, I had a Zoom interview with my direct supervisor. That interview had very traditional interview questions, and took about 30 minutes. Two weeks after that, I was invited to a Zoom interview with the internship director. That interview was a little less formal--he wanted to get to know me as a person, so it was mostly chatting about books and the publishing industry in general. I received an official offer via phone the next morning.
