      Copy Editor Interview

      4 Oct 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Springer Nature (London, England) in Aug 2019

      Interview

      I was phoned out of the blue and asked a few interview questions. I then received a 3000 word document via email to "copy-edit". I was provided with vague instructions on how to complete the task, and because of this it took up a lot of my time. After submitting the document I had to wait over a month to receive a rejection email and some feedback. I was glad to receive feedback, but it was not well articulated and was overly critical/condescending in tone. Not a great experience overall. Long waiting times and bad communication.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why do you want the role? What experience do you have that is relevant? What were you doing in previous employment?
