I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
Two calls: first with a recruiter for screening and the second with the lead web developer to discuss the needs of Glassdoor and to answer a short quiz on web vocab essentially. Then after asking to come visit the office twice over a week period, got a rejection letter with no explanation a week later.

Question 1
Q: What does 'use strict' mean in javascript?
Q: How do you write chainable functions?
etc...
The interview process at Glassdoor was a positive experience overall. It consisted primarily of a coding interview, which was well-structured and engaging. The interviewer was professional and made the environment comfortable, allowing for clear communication and problem-solving. The questions were focused on assessing core programming skills, algorithmic thinking, and code optimization. It was a great opportunity to demonstrate technical abilities in a supportive setting.

Had a phone screen with HR, followed by technical interviews that tested my coding, algorithms, and problem-solving skills. I also faced a system design interview and some behavioral questions. Overall, the process was thorough and gave me a good sense of the team's expectations.

There were several rounds to the entire interview processs. There was a technical round, there was a skills based round. There was a final round which seemed quite informal. There was a take home coding test.
