I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Springer Nature (London, England) in Jan 2017
Interview
First I was asked to complete a test from home, an editorial assessment of two manuscripts, and then I was invited to interview at the company's headquarter. I was asked about my knowledge of the publishing industry and about my scientific background. I was also given a second test similar to the previous one.
