I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2021
Interview
It started with a conversation via email. After around 5-6 replies, they invited me to a video call. The video call lasted for 20 minutes, the person was interested in what I was saying but in the end I did not get any offer.

The interview process at Glassdoor was a positive experience overall. It consisted primarily of a coding interview, which was well-structured and engaging. The interviewer was professional and made the environment comfortable, allowing for clear communication and problem-solving. The questions were focused on assessing core programming skills, algorithmic thinking, and code optimization. It was a great opportunity to demonstrate technical abilities in a supportive setting.

Had a phone screen with HR, followed by technical interviews that tested my coding, algorithms, and problem-solving skills. I also faced a system design interview and some behavioral questions. Overall, the process was thorough and gave me a good sense of the team's expectations.

There were several rounds to the entire interview processs. There was a technical round, there was a skills based round. There was a final round which seemed quite informal. There was a take home coding test.
