First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Glassdoor.
Intern
The interview process was well-structured and professional. I had a phone screen followed by a technical round and a final discussion with the hiring manager. Questions were challenging but fair, focusing on problem-solving, technical knowledge, and situational judgment. Interviewers were friendly and supportive, creating a positive atmosphere. Overall, the process was insightful and reflective of the company culture. I appreciated the timely communication and feedback throughout. Would recommend this company to candidates seeking a thorough, respectful, and engaging interview experience.
No confirmed questions were included in this interview report.
Customer Success Manager
I applied for this role and after a recruiter reached out, I had two interviews with the hiring manager. I was asked to do a lot of research and prepare a full presentation for this, which took a good amount of time. After the last interview, there was no communication for four weeks. My email to the hiring manager was ignored, and only after I contacted the agency again did I get a brief email saying they hired someone internally. No phone call, no real feedback, just a blunt, impersonal message. This whole thing felt unprofessional and not in line with values like honesty and respect for candidates. If you care about your time and want a professional experience, be careful with this one.

Content Strategist
Glassdoor reached out to me about this role, and my recruiter was great. However, the hiring manager was not. She conducted the interview from a noisy Starbucks parking lot and didn't seem very interested in learning about my skills, though she did compliment my portfolio. She also made a point to mention the ethnicities of her team members to me. I was especially disappointed not to get the job after completing a take-home assignment that a senior executive praised. The role went to someone who doesn't appear to have the same level of experience, particularly with creators of color, which was my focus. It's a shame because I like the company, but this hiring manager's attitude left a bad impression.

- I had to sell myself and my skills.
- How does my portfolio compare to yours?
Lead Researcher
It was a pretty long and relevant interview process, way above average in how much it related to the job. The recruiter was super helpful and actually followed up when she said she would, which most don't. I think they could make it better by adding reference checks. I don't think the interviews were a great way to show what I can do. As an autistic person, interviews are tough and I always perform worse than I actually can. The interviewers and questions were fair, but sometimes they were vague and lacked detail, leaving me with too many questions to guess the specifics because I might be wrong. Also, I never design research or analysis plans on the fly; thinking it through is the only way to get the best results. People who think deeply don't do well giving immediate answers to complex questions. But, overall, sadly, the process made me like the company more and want to work there, even though I didn't get an offer.
