      Senior Acquisitions Editor Interview

      Sep 14, 2023
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Boston, MA
      No offer
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Elsevier

      Interview

      Several rounds with different members of the hiring team. Disorganized with the hiring process. I was more proactive in making sure I had the right times to give an interview. Similar questions asked by all team members; but they were making sure that I was the right candidate. Somewhat inflexible with the date I was available to give an interview; they were in a hurry to hire a candidate!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Typical q's like what can you offer; why are you fit for this role; can you manage authors effectively etc.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Elsevier (Boston, MA) in Dec 2022

      Interview

      I had an interview with a recruiter over the phone and an interview with an executive via Teams. I thought I was interviewing with the hiring manager but during the interview I learned that they were in the process of hiring the hiring manager. The person interviewing seemed like she was distracted and going through the motions but not very interested. I followed up with a thank you email. The recruiter told me they would send my email to the interviewer. I was surprised that after the interview there was no follow up at all from the recruiter - not even a generic email. When I checked on the status online a month later it still showed the application was in process but I never heard back from anyone. It seems like applicants who get to the stage where they are interviewing with an executive on the team should at least receive a follow up email informing the applicant that the role was filled.
