The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Mill Valley, CA)
Interview
Rigorous process and positive experience. Recruiter screen, phone interview with case + behavioral questions, excel/PPT homework assignment, then an on-site with three cases and an additional behavioral experience. While the process was time intensive, in my experience, it was on par with the level of investment required for BizOps roles at other tech companies. I appreciated how the process enabled me to meet various people at different levels across the team, which helped me assess whether the team and role would be a good fit for me.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Mill Valley, CA) in Feb 2018
Interview
The interview process was very thorough. The first step was a screening call with HR to learn more about my background and interest in the role. This was followed by a 40-minute phone interview with a Director in the Business Operations group. This interview consisted of a case interview, as well as some questions about my background.
After the phone interview, I completed a homework assignment, which involved data analysis in Microsoft Excel, as well as a presentation in Microsoft Powerpoint. I had two days to complete the assignment, and I probably spent about 10-12 hours on it.
After this, I had final interviews in the Glassdoor office. This consisted of four 45-minute case interviews with members of the Business Operations team, as well as a few shorter informational interviews with other members of the team.
The entire process took about two and a half weeks from my first interview until I received an offer.

Question 1
Imagine that Glassdoor was considering launching an auto-renewal product for employers. Is this a good idea or not? How would you evaluate this decision?

Congratulations on your new role and we're very happy to hear that you applied through an employee referral! Many of our employees have joined because a family or friend referred them in.
