Springer Nature Project Manager interview questions

Very good interview! The person was quite polite and respectful. All the question were work-related and no pressure to answer. The interview mainly focus on leadership aspects and related characteristics.

- Phone interview with internal recruiter. Got a good overview of the role, and the impression that they were open to hiring from a wide range of backgrounds (i.e. with no formal publishing experience), which was good news to me, as I was looking to move from a different industry - Interviewed with two senior members of the Product team. They asked questions and gave me the opportunity to ask quite a few, too. When I asked about the most challenging aspects of the role, they were very open about staff turnover and a team workload that was higher than ideal. When I asked how they were planning to address these challenges, they were honest in explaining they had solutions to some of them, but others were expected to last in the longer term. - Overall, even though I didn't get an offer, it was a positive experience. All my interactions felt like two-way conversations, and I appreciated the openness to share more challenging aspects of the role. I felt I had all the information I needed to understand whether I could be a good fit of the role, and my conclusion was they were looking for someone more senior and more commercial, so the rejection didn't come as a surprise
