I applied online. I interviewed at Glassdoor (New York, NY)
Interview
It was incredibly disappointing. I wanted to work at Glassdoor because I wanted to contribute to its mission of providing corporate and career transparency to their corporate clients and day to day users. After applying online, I received an email from one your recruiters to schedule a time for a phone interview. I replied with a set of time slots in which i would be available and also noted that I would be more than happy to accommodate any other time slot that would be more convenient for the recruiter. After checking my email HubSpot email tracker, I realized that I've been misled. The recruiter had opened my emails several times but she had yet to respond. Now I'm starting to question why she sent the initial email in the first place since she is deliberately not responding to my emails. I really hoped that the recruiters are mindful of their prospects' situation. There are times where a prospects' family and livelihood are at stake and is dependent on seizing the opportunity that is presented by the recruiter. Leaving the prospect hanging is definitely not best practice. This experience has somehow put Glassdoor in a negative light in my eyes. The company is not holding its employees up to the standard it strived for. Thier mission and standards are after all that attract talented prospects around the world to Glassdoor. I really wanted to work here too..
Thank you for your feedback. As you speculated, this is certainly not a best practice of our team and I'm very sorry that it was your experience. We do strive to offer a World Class candidate experience, and it's clear that we missed the mark in this case. I hope you consider Glassdoor for future opportunities, and welcome a follow-up call with you if you're interested.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2016
Interview
The process went very smooth and quickly. First, I was contacted the day after I applied online and was asked to have a phone interview, scheduled for three days later. After the phone interview, I was contacted immediately with an invite to come into the office for 4 half hour interviews with SDRs and SDR leaders. The interviews were very casual, comfortable, and very much two-sided. They were more like conversations than interviews. Finally, I was asked to come in to give a 15 minute presentation on myself, with 15 minutes of question and answer. I practiced heavily for the presentation, and everything went super well! Every person I met while interviewing made the process so enjoyable. They also made me super excited to join the Glassdoor team because of their genuine love of the company and the work they do! 10/10 would recommend.

Question 1
How do you handle rejection and what do you do to reset yourself after a hard day?
I was emailed for a phone interview. I emailed my reply because there was no phone number given. No reply. I emailed several times after that and was totally ignored. Then I received the 'we have chosen..." email. Total disrespect for the candidate.
