Only been through the HR screening so far, very friendly and straightforward. They explained the position, the company and what the interview process would include very clearly. I have been told that there will be a further interview and likely another test after that but I haven’t reached that stage yet so I can not comment further on that.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Springer Nature (Tattenhall, England) in Nov 2019
Interview
An hour and a quarter in total: an hours competency questions and then a 10 minute exercise which involved writing a reply to an author who hadn’t received a decision on their article yet.
The 2 interviewers were very friendly and seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say. The questions were competency based but quite specific to the job.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
(Paraphrased slightly as I can’t remember exact wording) What’s your favourite team you’ve worked in?
