I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Elsevier
Interview
Long interviews . If feel that I knew the direct manager very well and the director not at all.
Tough behavioral questions in first two interviews. Director did a phone interview and did interview in person. The manager layer out the company and responsibilities and even said it was long hours, multiple skills and lot of database work. Know analytics and love them if you apply

Question 1
Behavioral questions. The first questions were covering why Elsevier? Why am I looking, circumstances? Know the company and do your internet research. Second interview was covering the project which was a day in the life task of going to accounts. Love that but the questions were tough about the experience. The manager knew the accounts and asked questions about the process and who I meet that I didn't include in the report (admin types, gate keepers). Questions also discussed how I approached the task.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Elsevier in Aug 2014
Interview
Got a call from an internal recruiter and did basic background / experience interview over the phone.
Did an over the phone interview with the UX manager and the person whose role I would be taking over.
Called in for an in-person interview with two project managers, the technical director, and the program director.
They did a background check after I accepted the offer.

Question 1
Lots of questions about my experience with agile and working with remote development teams.
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.

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.
