I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Springer Nature (Londres, Inglaterra) in Sep 2018
Interview
Pre-interview was a timed task (45 minutes) where you had to read through a list of abstracts and highlight keywords and the field/journal it would be best published in.
About 1 hour Interview by a panel of two employees, not the ones scheduled before the interview, following a script. Followed by a 5 minute task to write a response to an irate customer wondering when their manuscript would be published.
Have yet to hear back either way so I assume I haven't got the job, other than that it was a good interview process.
