I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Springer Nature (London, England) in Sep 2018
Interview
Pre-interview was a timed task (45 minutes) where you had to read through a list of abstracts and highlight keywords and the field/journal it would be best published in.
About 1 hour Interview by a panel of two employees, not the ones scheduled before the interview, following a script. Followed by a 5 minute task to write a response to an irate customer wondering when their manuscript would be published.
Have yet to hear back either way so I assume I haven't got the job, other than that it was a good interview process.

I applied online. I interviewed at Springer Nature (Chester, England) in Jun 2022
Interview
Stage 1: phone call from HR
Stage 2: Microsoft teams - had to complete a written task
Final stage: Microsoft teams - had to present a presentation
At the end they did not even let me know if I got the job or not. I emailed twice to ask if there was any updates about my application as I did not hear back and I was ignored twice as I received no email back in reply. Says a lot about the company, makes me glad that I didn’t not get offered the job. Very poor.
After a week submitting the resume, I received a call interview from hr. The call was about 30 mins. then after a couple of days, I got an invitation to have a written test.

Interview
A very smooth interview process! The Interview panel was very nice and made sure I was at ease for the interview. They were very attentive and their questions were not too stressful.
