Entrevista
I submitted online application and a few days later was contacted by HR to arrange 30 minute video interview. I was told that during this interview they would check my knowledge of peer review process. During the first interview they expect you to tell them about the peer review process at Frontiers step by step which meant that it took me a lot of time to prepare before this interview. They also expect you to know in detail the job description, the duties and how you understand this role. I found this surprising as usually during the first screening interview it's the recruiter who is telling more about the role and the duties but not the other way round. During the interview the interviewer was reading from a script which made it difficult to build rapport. In any case, as I was very interested in this role, I took my time before the interview, learnt about the peer review process and the role in detail. After the interview I received a generic rejection email saying that they are not able to provide any feedback. I am ok with the rejection but I was disappointed they they refused to provide me with any feedback especially taking into account the fact that they expect you to invest your time and effort into learning about their processes, company and the role in detail before the first interview. I would not consider applying to any future openings at this company after this experience.

2 separate interviews, one with recruiters where you need to know in detail their peer review process, which takes a lot of preparation. Second interview with 2 managers. They ask how you would prioritise a list of tasks, they also expect you to know exactly their processes which doesn't make sense since there's no information on that online so you need to guess how they work. Also if you don't get the offer they will ghost you, no feedback, no emails saying you didn't get the job and not even replying to your emails asking for any updates on the interview. Highly unprofessional process, specially if you are asked to prepare a lot for interviews. I'd avoid them, seems like this people don't really know what they're doing.

Long process, unprofessional HR practices. Clearly these folks are hiring way beyond their capacity (publishing 90,000 papers annually) and cannot keep up. I think that after two interviews and a promise to share results within a week, they owe their applicants a response. (If you have HR capacity to keep posting, scheduling and interviewing for dozens of openings at a time, you should be able to send a quick rejection email.) For interviews, be sure to research their peer review processes well and the ways they different teams interact (available on their website). The interviews themselves were STAR-based, but they really delved deep into answers, so be sure choose examples accordingly. There were also two scenario-based questions related to prioritization and conflict resolution. Focus on target-driven work. These were challenging interviews, but I appreciated that the interviewers were really listening and responding to my responses.

Tell me what you know about Frontiers’s peer review model.
It was a two-round interview. The first round was with HR and the second round was with Review Operations Managers. The interviewers were very unfriendly and expected to know the entire publishing and peer review process in real depth. Would not want to work with such unfriendly people.
