Anonymous Employee
I applied through other source. I interviewed at GLG
The interview was well-organised and conducted professionally, which gave me confidence in the company's hiring process. There were several rounds of interviews: 1. Phone Screening with their Talent team; 2. Interview with Team Lead 3. Behavioural interview; 4. Interview with BD & Country Heads; 5. Case Study.

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at GLG
First Interview pretty standard talking to TA teams went really well however the second stage is where I did not understand, where I was interviewed by juniors without management, which I found to be condisending and disrespectful, that the judgement of my job was in the hands of two people who are not in a position of management decisions and know whats best for the team
- What is our biggest threat?

Anonymous Interview Candidate in New York, NY
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at GLG (New York, NY)
Met the rudest interviewer in my career. Extremely condescending, cut off every answer mid-sentence, and seemed to be taking out her bad mood on the interviewee from the beginning. All questions were low quality as if the company was looking for a machine instead of an employee to simply overwork for them. The absurd rudeness to someone just met for the first time was frankly not very smart as it really doesn't help with the company's image. I've now seen the poor culture and people this company runs on and know to avoid it at all costs.
- Can you handle the overworking nature of this role?

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Philadelphia, PA
The process took 3 months. I interviewed at GLG (Philadelphia, PA)
RED FLAGS ALL AROUND FOR THIS COMPANY!!! 7+ rounds of interviews, little to no communication in between rounds. Conversation about salary before an offer after the “final round”. Clearly they wanted to extend me an offer but were trying to figure out if i would accept the amount they provided first. Very unprofessional company!! Do not say anything to them about salary until you get an offer in hand!!!! Sent an automatic rejection after I stated a different salary range instead of letting me decide on whether or not I would still accept. ABSOLUTELY UNPROFESSIONAL!!! 🚩🚩🚩🚩
- Why GLG? Tell me about yourself?

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at GLG
the process was pretty good. the interviewers knew very much about the company and they were very responsive. If you prepare/ do adequate research on the company, the process should be just as smooth for you.
- why do you want to work at GLG?

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Gurgaon, Haryana
I applied online. I interviewed at GLG (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Mar 2023
I was informed about the interview less than 24 hours before the interview was scheduled to take place. During the interview, it was clear that the interviewer had no intention of considering me for the position. The interviewer conducted the discussion with a bored attitude, asking me very basic questions which could easily have been answered by a glance at my resume. Every time I attempted to answer a question in any depth or detail, the interview immediately cut me short and asked me to answer in very short, simple terms. Post-interview, it has been about a month and I have not received any communication from GLG, not even so much as an impersonal rejection email. I followed up with the person who scheduled my interview, asking for an update at the very least, and that was met with no response either. This whole process is clearly indicative of an unprofessional staff and a pathetic, lazy company culture.
- The usual: talk about yourself, what do you know about GLG and the position you are applying for, etc. A simple case-based question.

Anonymous Employee
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at GLG
Initial phone screening interview and then 2 offsite interviews. (The interviews took place before COVID-19). The interviews focused on finding out if I understand the industry and the job correctly since it’s not so well-known in KR.
- How did you know about GLG? How would you explain about GLG if someone asked?

Anonymous Employee in London, England
I applied online. I interviewed at GLG (London, England)
Il processo si divide in tre fasi: colloquio telefonico e due videochiamate. Il colloquio telefonico avviene con un membro del dipartimento HR. È una chiamata introduttiva. Successivamente, si tengono 2 videochiamate in genere la prima con un manager del team e l'ultima con un direttore
- Presentazione; Esperienze rilevanti; interesse rispetto all'azienda e alla mansione; test di una cold call

Anonymous Employee in New York, NY
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at GLG (New York, NY)
3 step process with phone call, interview with key members, and then case study assessment + presentation on why your solution is best. Closing call was for feedback and next steps.
- Case Study on slow account usage

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at GLG
Quick + thorough. Looked to go well but rejected after further consideration before next stage. Disappointing but most likely for the best. Discussions about previous job experiences and skillset. Salary mentioned, role discussed. Intial discussion
- I can't remember a specific thing.
