Springer Nature Front End Developer interview questions

Great people - very passionate about Front-end, especially UX / accessibility, and seemed like a great ethos. Let down by red tape, poor/slow/bureaucratic communication, and seemingly a wide disconnect between the hiring teams, and development team(s). Three stages across four weeks - 1) HR Contractor screening for 30min. 2) Ethos and Experience discussion with front-end manager for 1hr. 3) Technical interview with 2x developers for 2hrs, incl a practical test to implement a feature - no take-home test, and no fizzbuzz / circus trick questions. Received detailed positive feedback, but was strung along for an additional ~8 weeks of "are you still interested", and "we're waiting for approval to proceed", etc. Eventually I stopped chasing them, and they never followed up.
