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?
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.
