After completing 2-3 interview rounds, they not only communicated that I wasn't a suitable fit for the job but also treated me dismissively, making the experience disheartening and lacking in professional courtesy

Answer question

Application

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Elsevier (Amsterdam) in Jun 2024

Interview

If you ask me, don't waste your time with this company. My first interview was with a tech recruiter, which was long and boring. She asked me to complete an online test, which took 2-3 hours of my time. Despite sending follow-up emails, I haven't received any feedback from the company. Avoid it!
