I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Springer Nature (Pune City) in Oct 2016
Interview
Interview process contains 3 rounds in total. First round consist of aptitude and English language. It takes roughly an hour. Second round is the tentative interview, where HR people discuss the job description. Last round is technical writing where you are given an assignment, research article related. It takes 3 hours to complete. After the interview HR people tell you that they shall contact later. In my case Crest Premedia never contacted again. The decent thing would be to just inform if not selected so that we could move on. This attitude was very unprofessional and undesirable. After giving exams from morning 10 to evening 4, they test candidate all round, least they can do is inform if not selected. Not to mention even a glass of water was not offered after wasting the entire day of the candidate. Personally I would never work for a company with such unprofessional etiquettes and mannerism.

Question 1
Was asked about the background of my education and my interest in research?
I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Springer Nature (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
After a series of "at home" tests (choosing papers to accept/reject, writing a brief Editorial), I was interviewed at the King's Cross offices. The interview was split into two sections: the first being a task related to the manuscripts I'd seen previously, the second being a general interview where we discussed my experience, my background, my availability, strengths, etc. There were no particularly challenging or technical questions. The interview lasted about 3.5 hours. I was contacted 3 weeks afterwards.
