Interview
I was briefly told about the company before being given 30 minutes to edit a short paper followed by a quick tour of the office. The office itself was very quiet and seemed quite hostile. I was also told that I would hear in 2 weeks if I was successful and I wouldn't hear if I wasn't.

Interview
It was an hour long interview which was comprised of a casual talk about the company itself one on one with a manager, a few questions about my CV followed by an editorial test, proofreading an unpublished paper. I got there early and was told to wait, the overall environment in the office was cold and not particularly approachable.
