Very thorough process with 10+ interviews/calls in total and a 30 min presentation. First round screening with recruiter, second round with hiring manager, third round was a virtual on-site with several meetings over two days. Final round was a panel presentation. Everyone was warm, welcoming and informative, and I truly felt they were as invested as I was to ensure the right fit. Culture, mission and values highlighted throughout the process. Unfortunately, after all of the time and effort invested from the start through to the final round, I was not selected for the role. It was disappointing given the amount of time invested, however they were transparent about the process from the beginning, so I knew what to expect at each stage. I felt they cared about me as a person and appreciated the time and effort I put in through the process, despite the outcome.

Glassdoor, let me start my saying that it is NOT cool if a candidate has to wait till Wednesday afternoon to know the outcome of a nearly full day of interviews completed on Friday. Especially when someone has invested as much work and love into the process as I did. I almost wish I hadn't interviewed because the process weakened the Glassdoor brand for me. My process involved: Phone round 1 followed by Phone round 2 followed by in-person round 1 followed by in-person round 2. And I suspect more rounds if I had cleared that one. The past Product Marketing leader had apparently set a bad precedent on many fronts. After I finished the process, it was clearer to me why they hadn't been able to close the role for over 4 months. The process had several kinks right from the recruiter-Glassdoor communication, to internal PM-PMM leadership dynamics, to the fit of the role within a very entrenched team culture. There were several inconsistencies in what I heard from individual team members and it seemed like a process to weed out, not include in. I urge Glassdoor to evaluate their own hiring process and do a better job of follow ups.
