Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is GLG's business model? Why do you want to work for GLG? How do you manage time?
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at GLG (Austin, TX)
Interview
Basically what everyone said below me is true. It is an extremely lengthy process that for me took over 6 weeks, and ended without a job. I did the two 30-minute interviews with someone in their office in New York and in Austin, I then did the case study (finished it early), talked with a manager for 30 minutes about the case study, and then went to their office here in Austin for a 3 hours worth of interviews. All the managers seemed to really like me, and the last one I interviewed with said I would know by the end of that week if I got an offer. I interviewed on Wednesday so I should've heard back by that Friday, and next thing I know it's a week later and I still don't hear anything back. I write a follow up e-mail to the HR department to see what is up, and still nobody contacts me or responds (incredibly frustrating). Finally, over a week and a half later from when I was supposed to know whether or not I received an offer, I got a vague email saying my qualifications didn't meet the needs of the position?? If they weren't met in the first place, don't waste my time for 6 weeks for interviews that would lead nowhere.
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at GLG (Austin, TX) in Oct 2015
Interview
Took 3 months and interviews with 11 people. First had two phone interviews with current Senior Associates. Very relaxed and friendly interviewers. After the first round, they sent a case to prepare and then set up another interview to review it. The case is straight forward and reflects the work that GLG does. After that interview, I was invited to interview in the Austin office. This took 3 hours. I had lunch with two Senior Associates and then 4 interviews with Managers and VPs. They pair you with different personalities to see how you communicate with different styles. It took them over a month to get back to me after my in-office interview. Then, they asked me to interview over the phone with a manager. No explanation. After a 20 minute phone call, very straight forward, just like all of the others, I received a 3 sentence long email telling me they were pursuing other candidates. Like I said, after 3 months and 11 interviews. It was incredibly rude and disappointing because I did enjoy the people there.
