I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Elsevier (Londres, Inglaterra) in Jun 2016
Interview
I applied direct on the companies website. I was contacted within a day by the internal recruiter and asked to provide some additional information relating to my application. Within a couple of days of me providing this I was asked to come in for an interview. The amount of information provided by the internal recruiter about the interview process was very poor. They gave me very little information about how many interviews there'd be or indeed what the format of the interview would be - I was only told this information when I turned up for my interview which was then too late. Following the interview I wasn't contacted for 3 weeks until I chased up (several emails) and asked for a decision at which point I was told I hadn't got the job. I think its common for companies to not provide feedback after an interview but to not even bother to let a candidate know the outcome of an interview is highly unprofessional.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to answer two case study interview questions in the space of an hour, based on some material that I had to read. I was given ten minutes to read each case study material. I found the structuring of the case study somewhat poor, compared to other case study type questions I have come across.
