I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Sausalito, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
The entire interview process was pretty quick at Glassdoor. it took about one week for a phone screen after I submitted my resume, The questions were pretty standard for the phone screen, data structure, a short piece of code, and some JAVA specific questions. After the phone screen, it took about another week for my onsite interview. The format of the onsite interview was similar to most software company where you are interviewed by 5 people lasting 45 min to 1 hr each. Almost all the questions were coding related and about half of them were related to the position I was applying for. I was able to stay quite relax during interviews since I only had to do a little bit of white board and actually get to use a computer for several questions. Compare to the Amazon interview I went on where I was on the white board the whole time, this was a much better experience. I received an offer less than a week after my onsite.

The interview process at Glassdoor was a positive experience overall. It consisted primarily of a coding interview, which was well-structured and engaging. The interviewer was professional and made the environment comfortable, allowing for clear communication and problem-solving. The questions were focused on assessing core programming skills, algorithmic thinking, and code optimization. It was a great opportunity to demonstrate technical abilities in a supportive setting.

Had a phone screen with HR, followed by technical interviews that tested my coding, algorithms, and problem-solving skills. I also faced a system design interview and some behavioral questions. Overall, the process was thorough and gave me a good sense of the team's expectations.
