I applied back in November 2020, and from the beginning encountered various issues. On the Springer-Nature careers platform, I saw that my application had been moved to the interview stage back in December (before Christmas). I sent an email asking for more information but received no reply until the second week of January. From there, I had an interview which went very well; they were polite and engaged (asked the general questions I found on this website as well!), and I felt like I had really made a good case for myself. I was told that I would hear back the next week, but never did. I emailed the interviewer directly, who told me that the process was taking longer than expected. After two weeks I still hadn't heard back, and emailed both HR and the interviewer asking for more information. Now, at the end of February, I still haven't heard back and suspect that I never will. All in all, this reflects poorly on the companies organisation and I doubt I will apply with BMC any time soon.
