After the online application, I got a call from one of the talent attraction specialists who informed me about the role and conducted an informal interview. After my application was forwarded to a hiring manager, I got an email stating when I could expect to receive a written assignment. I was given a week to complete the task. The information about not progressing further to the formal interview stage was delivered to me through a phone call, in a very compassionate an professional way. I am grateful for the support and information received during the process, making it unique in comparison to other employers at the market. As a prospective employee, I felt that applicants are respected by Springer Nature. Even after receiving a negative outcome, my view of Springer Nature has remained positive. It's a rare thing nowadays to encounter such a great application process!
