A recruiter reached out to me and initiated the conversation / process via email. From there, they provided me a background on the company, the role and what they were looking for. We then discussed my background (current / prior projects & programs). The recruiter was very transparent about the organization, compensation, benefits, and the interviewing process (feedback, loops required, debriefs, feedback I received post-debrief, etc.).
I had a conversation with Engineering Leads, Product Leads and even peers on the PgM team at Glassdoor. What I enjoyed most was the conversational element and the transparency that everyone had. Everyone was very warming, welcoming, and every encounter felt like a true conversation.
It was very nice to witness everyone's transparency about the company (+ future of the company), benefits, perks, and reasons why they really enjoy working at Glassdoor. Everyone truly embodied the company values.
For the first time in my interviewing experience, I didn't feel like I was the only one pitching myself throughout this process. Everyone was enthused to discuss why they love GD, the perks, frequent company holidays, ERGs, and how nice and warming all of their peers are. My hiring manager was extremely candid, warming, and throughout my interview, I gained a lot of context surrounding the org, their leadership and strategy.
Beyond everything, I was able to tell that my hiring manager would be an amazing lead, mentor, coach and someone who I would want to work with which really helped me when making my final decision.
