      Senior Project Manager Interview

      10 Jan 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Elsevier in Jan 2023

      Interview

      I was impressed with HR teams efforts to make me feel involved in the process and their collaborative approach. However, my experience with the hiring manager was quite different. The hiring manager, displayed a lack of professionalism by yawning multiple times (more than 10 in a 45 min interview) while I was providing answers and sharing my perspectives on various topics. This behavior is highly disrespectful and unprofessional, especially during a first interaction. Furthermore, I was deeply disappointed with the feedback I received from the hiring manager (someone who has less certifications and focus on project management field). I am happy to receive at least a "feedback" but the feedback not only failed to accurately reflect my experience and qualifications, but it also did not align with their own job description. It was quite apparent that the hiring manager did not take the time to thoroughly review my CV, but rather just captured a few keywords during interview and used them in her feedback.

      Senior Product Manager Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Elsevier

      Interview

      Didn’t actually interview. Received an email from a recruiter about a month after I applied to setup some time to talk about position. I replied the same day with availability but didn’t get a response back. Replied again two days later and got the recruiters out of office message. Didn’t receive any communication back at all for weeks after but then finally received an automated email from Workday saying they are not moving forward with my application.

      Application

      I interviewed at Elsevier

      Interview

      Applied online and then received a standard reject from HR. However, in the email they thanked me for the time to talk to them which is not true. HR not very bright if they cannot use the correct template.

      Question 1

      Nothing, they said they talked to me which they clearly didn't.
