      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Londres, Inglaterra) in Oct 2021

      Interview

      The entire process was really smooth and I was kept in constant contact and had an extra call while there was a gap due to an interviewer's holiday which I really appreciated. I had an initial call with a current member of staff then a call with the talent team. A 30min interview with my would-be manager and a presentation/interview immediately after with 4 members of staff. The final stage was with a senior staff member.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Sausalito, CA) in Jul 2011

      Interview

      The interview process took an active role in getting to know me as a PR professional. I was required to analyze data from the site and craft a press release surrounding the news I was able to mine from the results. During the in-person interview, a role-playing scenario was acted out where my interviewer pretended to be a reporter. She had me call her on her cell phone while she was in the other room and pitch her on the press release I'd just written. Following that, I met with a co-founder who first asked extensive questions about my background, and then picked my brain for story angles and pitch ideas from the site. It was the most progressive interview I've ever experienced. Coming out of the interview, I was even more intrigued with the company and interested in working there. They were able to show me first-hand how fast-paced and exciting the work envirnoment is -- it's clear to me from the interview process that the company is filled with hand-picked smart and hardworking individuals.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Sausalito, CA) in Jul 2011

      Interview

      I was already using Glassdoor in my job search, thought it was pretty cool, then when I saw a PR job open at Glassdoor on Twitter, I applied immediately. Needless to say, I heard back from the Corp Comm Director within 20 minutes. That's how fast these people are, at least in PR, when they're interested in you. I replied back immediately - wanted to show my interest - and a phone interview was set up for the next morning. I did my research and prepared for an initial phone screen and it went well. PR director had a lot of energy over the phone, asked a lot of questions about my PR/media experience, and the conversation flowed naturally. At the end, she asked when they could fly me out for an in-person interview. Well, I was on a plane the next week, on site for a 4 hour interview, and then flew back home. Two days later, I had a Skype interview with the CEO, and later that afternoon received an offer that was more than what I had asked for. It was pretty awesome and I went out to a fancy dinner that night. How can this help you? if you're interviewing in the PR department, be quick, responsive, fast, accurate, inquisitive and do your research. Come on, people, it's PR - anything and everything they are doing is already 'out there,' so there's no excuse not to find it and show that off. They really liked that. Also, it was easy to see all the great things in PR they are doing, but I knew I had to go further to show my value to them by identifying the things they were NOT doing in PR and how I could plug those holes and contribute by doing something new. That's the name of the game, especially at small companies growing quickly. I had to do a writing test, pitch the director over the phone as if she was a reporter, and explain what I would do for Glassdoor's PR program. I wanted to cut them off at the pass, so I came prepared with a 2-page document on new ideas and suggestions on what they could do to improve their program. Needless to say, I really really wanted this job, so I did all I could to show them that I was awesome. It worked and like I said, if you go above and beyond what their expectations might be, you might even surprise yourself in what they offer you. Did I mention to do your research and go beyond what the normal person does? Now working here at Glassdoor, it's clear that most people are overachievers and set high expectations, so it's kinda the status quo at Glassdoor. BTW, that's a good thing. PS - In addition to applying online via the standard process, I really wanted to get noticed, so found some in-house PR contacts, got their names and found an email address and emailed them directly to get their attention. That worked. I recommend anyone doing this who is serious.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What would you do for our program? What PR successes have you had? What would you do for us that we aren't doing? What contacts do you have in the media and how did you foster those relationships? Why Glassdoor? What else can you do for us besides media relations?
