The Penguin UK Website: What's involved in different publishing jobs?

We have featured material from the Penguin UK website before. Penguin UK has posted a series of interviews with various people involved in book production,

from rights-clearance to distribution to IT. It's a great peek inside what the different jobs are like inside Penguin's corner of the publishing industry. Its really quite illuminating.
