Interview
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME APPLYING TO THIS COMPANY!!! Like many others have said here, they will send you three essays that are almost entirely unintelligible. I have 10 years of experience as an editor and decided I would apply to this company to earn some side cash. I stupidly ignored the other reviews here and decided to give the mock edits a crack. Unfortunately the prompts were written as if the author typed it in their native language and translated it through google translate to English. An absolute joke.
I spent 7+ hours editing this document only to receive a rejection 30 minutes later. This company completely wastes your valuable time and doesn't even have the decency to have a human email you a rejection. You may be thinking that these are just one-off experiences, but that is highly unlikely, LOOK AT ALL OF THE REVIEWS HERE. Save your time. Don't play into this company's absurd practice of wasting your time with a tedious editing assignment. Scribendi, if you ever read this, shame on you. Have some more respect for the people who are applying to work for you.

I took an online test, passed it, and was sent a three-hour test. The writing was completely terrible. I finished my test within the time period and emailed my test back. The directions had me send a clean, corrected copy. Unfortunately, when you're told to use Track Changes and have made comments and suggestions to the author, the grader of your test doesn't see those.

I first took a short grammar quiz. This should have been my first clue. Then was asked to do a ridiculous ' mock assignment' with little to no instruction. It took more than the three hours they said it would. Poorly designed. I shouldn't have done it. More's the fool me! Don't bother with this.
