      Peer Review Specialist Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PLOS in Feb 2025

      Interview

      I applied mid-January and was contacted by an HR specialist mid-February. I had a phone screening just a few days after, but I was ghosted immediately after! The interviewer promised to get back to me within two weeks and never responded to my follow up email--I understand they're busy. Still, most companies usually send an email to reject you once you've at least spoken to an HR person. Update: Rejected 2 months after the HR screening.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They asked a lot about my current role, day to day activities, etc. A part of me wonders if they were on an information gathering mission than an interview.
