I applied online. I interviewed at PLOS (Cambridge, England) in Jun 2017
Interview
I first had a video interview and then was invited to an interview in the office. The video interview lasted 30 minutes, the one in the office 3h and 30 minutes and involved 2 tests. I was not fully explained how the long interview happens so I missed some opportunities to ask questions - I never saw these interviews later in the process.
