PLOS Publications Assistant interview questions

I applied online at the PLOS website and received an email approximately two weeks later requesting an interview. Before the interview, I had to complete a quick written exercise and email it to HR. At the time, I was living outside of the United States so I had the interview using Zoom. This interview was conducted by two employees. About a week later, I was contacted for a second interview which I completed in person at the PLOS office. I was interviewed by three employees. A week or so later, I was contacted and offered the job (which I unfortunately had to decline for personal reasons).

The interview consisted of two hour long sessions, each with a two person panel. The questions were standard competency, with only a couple of off the cuff follow-up questions based on my answers. The questions were read from sheet of paper and thus, there was often a lack of conversational flow. The interviewers were friendly and welcoming, and the questions easy.
