I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Elsevier
Interview
The recruiter send me a message on LinkedIn inviting me to review and apply for the role. I responded that I would apply and the recruiter ignored my messages. I applied using the link and was rejected the next day. I re-applied using the Easy Apply.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The recruiter asked question to get a better sense of who I was. He couldn't tell me any specifics about the role. He asked questions that were steeped in bias and sexism: Did I really moved to Amsterdam without a boyfriend or family? (His attitude was one of disbelief) What
neighborhood did I really live in? Questions that a qualified female applicant should not be asked in 2020. The company reputation was soiled by his utter lack professionalism. Avoid as a woman because this place has no concept of eqaulity.
