      Anonymous interview candidate
      Noida
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson (Noida) in Mar 2022

      Interview

      An in-house editor set up a 20-30 minutes call on Microsoft Teams. For background, I have never worked in a publishing house, and it was my first interview. Overall, the interviewer was professional, and at the end of the call, he gave me a few pointers to improve my future interviews.

      Interview questions [4]

      Question 1

      How many levels of editing are there? What level of editing do you do?
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Explain the editorial process in a publishing house.
      Answer question

      Question 3

      The job can get hectic, and you may have to put in extra hours. How good are you at handling pressure, assuming that all the titles you work on are on priority?
      Answer question

      Question 4

      You will communicate with clients and the editor and tally their suggestions and editing. How will you organize it? Are you proficient in spreadsheets?
      Answer question

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Pearson

      Interview

      Had to complete an awkward online video "interview" which took nearly 2 hours. Questions were vague and did not really allow me to sell myself like they wanted. Would have killed an in-person interview.

      What is your greatest weakness
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Sell yourself to us

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson (Campinas, São Paulo) in Jan 2018

      Interview

      Três entrevistas: duas com o RH, e uma com a gestora da área. As entrevistas com o RH foram mais específicas quanto ao cargo, a com a gestora foi mais uma conversa informal.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Perguntas gerais na primeira fase. Na segunda entrevista, perguntas mais voltadas as minhas experiências prévias e resultados. A entrevista com a gestora foi mais uma conversa informal.
