I cannot thank you enough for the many years you gave Glassdoor and the numerous contributions you made. As someone who was instrumental in building and growing our company, I am truly heartbroken that your time has come to an end and ended in this way. I hope you still look back on your accomplishments and feel very proud of what you helped build. And please know we’re still here for you. I hope you will stay in touch with your Glassdoor family and hope you do reach out if there’s anything we can do to support you. It was a real privilege and honor to work with you.

We need a better internal interview process

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunities for internal candidates to be interviewed for promotions and cross functional opportunities

Cons

We do not treat our internal candidates the same as external candidates. Not only was it a multi-month long process but the recruiters paid no attention to the process. The recruiter actually missed our first "interview" with no explanation. It was a less than pleasing process from there. While they provided interview prep, which was welcomed, there was no follow up after any interviews and no expectations set for timelines or feedback. I love working at Glassdoor but if this was an external candidate, this would be a horrible process and first impression.

I am very sorry to hear about your experience, and appreciate you giving us the feedback. We completely agree we need a better process for our internal interviews, and are in fact working on developing a process this quarter to ensure our internal employees are treated wonderfully as they move up and around the organization.
