Product Manager
I got referred by a contact and had a recruiter screen pretty fast, within 10 days. It was two calls with the recruiter. Sadly, the hiring manager didn't move my resume forward after that, even though I emailed her directly before they decided. Didn't hear back, which was a bummer.
- Recruiter covered job specifics, like pay and remote status.
- Second recruiter call touched on my experience, but very briefly.
Product Manager Intern
First, a recruiter will call you for about 15-20 minutes to discuss your past experience and see if you're a good fit for the company. After that, you'll have a 45-minute Product Design Interview with a designer from the team. Then, there's a 45-minute Engineering interview with an engineer on the team. Finally, you'll have a 45-minute Hiring Manager Interview with a product manager from the team.

Product Manager
I had a great time interviewing at Glassdoor. It took about a month after I sent my resume to hear back from the recruiting team. They were super nice to talk to. First, I had a quick call with the Recruiter, just two days after they emailed me. It was a good chat where we went over my background and experience. She mentioned she'd recommend me to the hiring manager for the next interview. That same day, I got an email from the hiring manager wanting to set up a call, which was scheduled for two days later. The hiring manager call lasted an hour and a half. We talked about current company challenges and use cases they're deciding on, all relevant to the job. He also asked about my basic SEO knowledge because it was related to the role. At the end, he said he wanted me to come in for an in-person interview. The next day, the interview coordinator contacted me about dates. Since I'm in LA, Glassdoor flew me out, paid for my rental car, and a hotel nearby for the in-person interviews. I had a full day with 5 back-to-back interviews and a team lunch in between. Everyone I met seemed genuine and happy to be there. It seemed like a great place to work. The CXO (co-founder) was a bit intimidating, asking random questions to test knowledge across different topics. The questions were disconnected and hard to answer quickly without context, but besides that, it was a really pleasant experience overall.
