I had two interviews. In the first interview, I had to read a manuscript in one hour. After that hour was up, I had to present the paper and give critical feedback about its content to 3 editors. It kind of felt like a journal club. After that manuscript test, the interview was a bit more traditional where they asked me questions about my background and motivations for working as an editor. In the second interview, they emailed me two manuscripts and I was given a couple hours to read and write reviews on them. The second interview did not involve me speaking with anyone.

Relatively long--application required a writing sample, and the first short-list required another set of editorial examples to get the actual interview. The interview included more editorial exercises, and was actually quite fun as a result. The whole process took about five weeks from submission to finish.
