Glass Lewis & Co Interview Questions
& Process

They sent an assessment the day after I applied, which is hard to prep for. It had three timed sections. The first and third involved reading a long PDF (60+ pages) and answering questions about it, focusing on quickly finding and understanding info in dense documents. The second section used charts and text excerpts, testing data analysis and understanding of technical/business terms. Right after, I had to do a one-way interview, likely AI-proctored. It had about five behavioral questions, but I got time to think and could re-record answers within the hour slot, though I finished in 30 mins. About four business days later, I got invited for a human interview which went really well, the recruiter said so, and mentioned another round was coming. However, seven business days after that, I got a rejection email. I suspect it's because I'm overqualified with a master's and two years of experience for a temporary 6-month role, yet they still made candidates go through a lot.

After submitting my resume and cover letter, the first step was an online test where I had to work with an annual report. If I passed that, I had a Teams interview with the full-time analysts in the market team. It was about 20 minutes. I introduced myself, and they explained the role and what the job involves. They asked about how I handle stress, my teamwork experience, experience with hybrid work, and my stance on overtime. Then, I got to ask questions, and that was it. The offer came about a week later.

I was first contacted by a recruiter who gave me some info about the interview and it was pretty straightforward. They made scheduling easy and gave me some helpful details. The company interviews were set up fast and they went up the chain of command with the hiring team.

Applied via the Glass Lewis career portal and got an invite from HR to do an online assessment just two days later. It's a required step. This diagnostic test had two parts, each 20 minutes long, so 40 minutes total. The first part involved reading a proxy statement and writing a persuasive response. The second part was about executive compensation, including some calculations and vocab. I finished the test the next day. The day after that, I got an invite for an on-site interview. It was a 3-on-1 interview where they had my resume and cover letter. They asked about my interests, corporate governance, and what I knew about executive compensation. They also explained their work structure and how the job is seasonal. The next day, HR emailed for a second on-site interview the following week. On the same day as the second round interview, I also had to do another assessment, this time on reading comprehension and writing, taking 45 minutes. I did the on-site (which was more behavioral, meeting more managers/directors) and the assessment on the same day. Two days after the second interview, I got an invite for the third and final round with a Senior VP. This one was conversational. I got an offer the afternoon after that. The whole process was pretty quick and enjoyable.
