      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Elsevier (Philadelphia, PA) in Aug 2017

      Interview

      I found the job post through LinkedIn and applied online through Elsevier's website. About a week later, I heard back from an HR rep and set up a phone screen. A day or two later, he called me back and offered two dates to choose from for an in-person, 3-hour interview at the Philly office. I met with three team members/supervisors. They mainly had me talk about my experience, did not ask me anything that caught me off guard. It was a really nice, confidence-boosting experience. After an hour or so of conversation, they had be review an internal site they had built. (I was given several days notice about this assignment). Then they had me do two 7-minute concept sketching exercises. I had practiced and been trained on how to succeed at these standard UX interview activities. (Hint: think out loud and practice your sketching!) After about two hours in the group setting, everyone left and a Product Manager came in to talk with me. Overall, it was a really good experience. The interview was way easier than what I had expected.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Nothing out of the ordinary and none of those pointless, more traditional interview questions. Don't worry about them asking what your weaknesses are. Be prepared to talk about the work you've done and be able to speak to your portfolio.

      Interview

      First you receive a call from the recruiter, in this call, they will ask you about your salary expectations. If you pass this stage, you will receive an invitation to have a 45-minute conversation with the hiring manager. If the hiring manager thinks you'll be a potential new team member, you'll be invited to present a case study from your portfolio in front of team members.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Elsevier (Ámsterdam) in Sep 2014

      Interview

      There were two job interviews. First, a general one, with questions about my previous experience, education, interest in company, career objectives, salary indication. I really liked that the salary question was discussed right away so that both company and me can adjust expectations. There were no trick or stress questions, everything was work/portfolio related. Then I got a test assignment to prepare for the second interview (about a week or so) The second interview was a presentation. Since I was supposed to also code, I was presenting the code as well. The whole thing was friendly felt more like a conversation, rather than an interview. I felt pretty comfortable
