Interview
The process took about 4 weeks. When I applied, the recruiter got in touch quite quickly and from then on was extremely supportive in terms of providing information about the next steps and what to expect as well as answer any questions that I might have. The scheduling of the different stages of the interview was very efficient. Overall, it was a positive experience and it felt more like a conversation.

Interview
A really thorough interview process starting with an HR representative, then with a panel interview, a ~30 minute presentation + panel interview, and then a final interview with a director. Took about 5 weeks from start to finish. Although it was a lengthy process, the HR rep was fast to keep me updated on next steps. I was impressed with how thorough the hiring team was with questions and they took time to make sure I could also ask questions to ensure I felt comfortable and confident about the role.
Thank you for sharing your feedback and welcome to Glassdoor!
I am so glad to hear your experience was positive and provided you with the opportunity to ask questions, we realize you are interviewing us too!

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Los Angeles, CA) in Dec 2021
Interview
I received an email from someone in HR about 2 weeks after applying for the position. The first step was to set up about 30 minutes to speak with the HR person for a phone screen. That took place a couple of days later.
The 30-minute phone screen was your basic "why Glassdoor?" and "why are you looking to leave your current position?" types of questions. The person I spoke with was very friendly and made the call a good experience. I was told that if the call goes well then I'd be receiving an email about taking an assessment.
A day or so later I received an email stating that I've moved on to the assessment part. I was provided with a YouTube link to watch a 30-minute video related to Glassdoor. Following the video, I was provided with 4-5 questions. The questions consisted of my experience and how I would handle situations based on the information I had learned during the video. I was told I had a couple of business days to complete the assessment.
Shortly after submitting the assessment questions, I received an email stating that I am moving on to interview with another CSM and a CSM manager. I was told to block off about 2 hours of my day. I had a 30-minute interview with each person and there was an hour break in between. Both people were very friendly and felt more like a conversation as opposed to an interview. Following the last interview, I had a quick 10-15 minute conversation with the HR person I originally spoke with. She said if I move on, the final step would be putting a 30-minute presentation together to present to members of the team. I was told I'd get updates within the next couple of days.
Unfortunately, the next day I received a denial email stating I would not be moving forward.
Obviously, I was disappointed with the outcome. I've never been a great interview and it's something I've been working hard to improve on. I wish companies would be willing to allow the candidate to do the project first because I think there's more to be said by watching the candidate work and seeing their work ethic as opposed to being asked "name a time when..."
