Started with an online multiple choice assessment, then a live online informational question and answer session with employees, a phone screen with the hiring manager, and an in-person assessment day with interviews, a presentation, and a group project.
I applied online. I interviewed at Elsevier (Amsterdam) in Apr 2020
Interview
Started with an assessment test, followed by an hr round. Assessment was aptitude based. It was quite standard, not too easy. HR round was good and my interviewer was very friendly and positive. I was followed up with a phone call asking me if I could relocate to another country because of restructuring. I was not in a position to say yes, so they didn't move forward with me. I was expecting a more personal mail tell me that I wouldn't be able to proceed with the process, but I got on that is sent in the first filter round. It definitely was disappointing because I was at the end of the process and felt like they could have taken some time to draft an appropriate email. But overall, it was a pleasant experience

Question 1
Please explain some past experiences/ achievements relevant to the job you have applied to.
Lovely, casual chat. Makes you feel at ease so you can actually talk about the company and yourself without the pressure of saying the right thing. Did a lot of research and didn't even need it.
