Interview process for this position was backwards as I met with the hiring manager first and then with HR about a week later. Not a big deal and I thought that both interviews went well and then...no update, radio silence. As I waited and waited to hear something, anything, I could only conclude that I was rejected. Finally, after 2 months, the rejection email was sent. An automated email instead of something more personalized which I thought I would be given the courtesy of receiving since I actually interviewed. I was able to find a silver lining with this experience though: how a company treats you as a candidate will be how they'll treat you as an employee.

What kind of experience do you have finding new authors to take over new editions?

Interview
First two phone interviews with HR and the hiring manager; a week later, flew to SAGE HQ in California and met with half a dozen people. Apparently this is standard; SAGE really focuses on good fit and comport within the current organization, clear alignment of values with SAGE's own, etc. Interviews were semi-formal (no Q&A) but tended to focus on explaining career accomplishments critically. All told, the interview process was fairly holistic; salary negotiations took about a week and a half.
