Preguntas de entrevista para el cargo de Journal Manager en Elsevier

The interview process consists of 3 steps. 1st is the ability to test communication through email writing and a short phone conversation. If we are through then the 2nd round is with the team manager. 3rd round is with the director or manager. Most of the questions are behavioral to be answered in STAR format. They drill every bit and when we feel that our interview has gone well, they reject us. Sometimes there is a strong feeling that some inside lobbying is happening and the hiring manager has already decided whom they have to hire. They simply choose few profile and conduct interview for the sake of being professional. They don't reply soon. They take a long process to show off that they are the best and treat candidates at the worst possible manner not giving respect to their time of wait. My interview process with Elsevier is the worst so far and if any person from Elsevier come across this post, they must seriously look into the whole Elsevier hiring process which is highly suspicious and completely mysterious.

An hours interview followed by 30 minutes Q&A with a trainer and then an exam. Interviewers were very friendly and explained the questions well. Questions were predominantly competency based with follow up questions
