I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Springer Nature (Pune) in Jun 2020
Interview
The process was quite lengthy , I had three rounds of interviews along with the test of English language .overall experience was fine.interviewers were friendly and made me comfortable. All the calls were video calls .
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Round 1 was around the roles and responsibilities and a bit of more deep dive into the work
Round 2 was like a real life scenario and case study where proper role play was conducted
Round 3 was again more on my resume and what I have done in the past
Between round2 and round 3 there was a test
It was good and focused on key skills required for the position along with the soft skills. Scenario based case study and questions based on your experience and skill set.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Springer Nature
Interview
Went to the first stage interview, a mostly informal chat with some competency based questions. Despite chasing and some periods of radio silence, it took two weeks to learn of the outcome, although another candidate getting through to the next round and booked in for the next stage pretty much instantly.
I was also encouraged by recruiter to disclose my neurodiversity during the interview. I do not recommend doing this. Despite all the guff on the website about D&I and the award they have paid for to win, it clearly is just lip service. Final insult is that there was "no specific feedback" as to why they wouldn't be progressing the application.
I could be coming across like a 'sore loser' here, but candidate experience is important. Having to explain to a recruiter / employer why you should be afforded common courtesy is not a good shop window for what it would be like to work for the company.
