      Production Editor Interview

      29 Jan 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Cary, NC
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Oxford University Press (Cary, NC) in Jan 2018

      Interview

      When I arrived on-site, I met with the HR manager, who gave me an overview of the overall picture of what life at the company was like. Afterward, I met with two senior production editors to discuss the role in-depth. Once that was done, I met with the HR manager again to wrap up. Once I left, I didn't hear anything back for three weeks before finally being met with an email that said simply, "This job has been filled and we will no longer be accepting applications for this position." If you're trying to get a job with Oxford University Press, understand there's a high likelihood of getting strung along that comes as part of the hiring process.

      Production Editor Interview

      3 Sept 2023
      Anonymous employee
      Oxford, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Oxford University Press (Oxford, England)

      Interview

      2 stage interview, very approachable panel of 3. The second one seemed superfluous as the only difference was that an interviewer was replaced by a HR representative who asked all the same questions

      Question 1

      Why do you want this role?

      Application

      I interviewed at Oxford University Press

      Interview

      Two rounds of interviews, fairly basic questions. If you’ve done production for a scholarly publisher, you know what to expect. Overall the people seemed friendly, and were interested in any experience working with offshore production suppliers.
