I applied online. I interviewed at Springer Nature (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
3 stages of application:
Recruitment calls you first to informally discuss your interest to the role. Then a manuscript assessment is forwarded to you to do within a week - 3 manuscripts where you have to decide to accept/reject and strengths/weaknesses. They schedule an interview with you - most of the interview was a timed assessment similar to the take home assessment. Make sure to read their website and just prepare for some basic editor questions that's been mentioned here before. I prepared for competency questions but never really got asked about that.

Interview
There was 3 interview rounds. first an interview with HR on telphone, the second one a manuscript test and the third one a 4 hour interview with journal editors. The interview with the editors was not bad but was completly out of my research topic.
