I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor in Feb 2022
Interview
Recruiter screen followed by zoom technical interview and virtually-onsite interview (4 hours). They focus technical side including another 2 coding challenges. Right after the interview, I felt uncomfortable because of the Sr. Manager attitude who didn't even care to look at the camera once and ask a question.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2021
Interview
The process started off fairly normal, had a good call with the recruiter and hiring manager, but the rest of the process was incredibly slow and drawn out.
I was actually interviewing for 2 roles at the time and I think some things got mixed up in the process. I was reached out to set up calls for the wrong people and the wrong role.
In the end I made it to the final presentation round, but declined to take it as when I had to bring back up salary, they were confused as the salary range for the role, they said was MUCH lower then what we originally talked about. They said they must have mixed things up with another role.
In the end I wasted about five hours of my time interviewing only to find out the salary was not aligned, I was glad I brought this up before I did the presentation.
Would have been a much better experience if things were more organized on their end.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Glassdoor (London, England) in Dec 2021
Interview
A half hour long discussion with internal recruiter Jake around my past experience and what both parties perceived I can bring to Glassdoor followed by an interview with sales manager and then a role play.
The interview process was exceptionally well organised and slick, Jake along with the senior personnel I met were focused and very communicative. The onboarding and the recruitment experience were both highly professional.
