Several rounds of interviewers and interviewed in person (pre-covid). It was a grab bag of interviewers - some nice, some stuck up. It was always unclear to what the role in tailed...
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at GLG in Jul 2016
Interview
I first talked to a senior manager who was super sweet and informative about the details of the role and the vision for the team. I then spoke with three managers in total and did a case study. They expect you to run a call with a client and a manager on a topic/research question of their choosing. at the end of my case study I was told real life client calls aren't as intense because usually you are given more information, but I suppose they throw you in the deep end to see how you react under pressure.
After the case study, I had a lunch interview with another senior manager on the team. This is where it gets a little weird. The manager was supposed to talk to me via phone/video conferencing but changed these plans because he was going to be in my city. I don't know if lunch interviews between only two people is commonplace, but I felt very uncomfortable. I've had lunch with other prospective teams before while going through an interview process and felt fine. This dynamic, on the other hand, was totally unsettling. It was like being on a bizarro date where I'm trying to be impressive and make my personality stand out while being essentially interrogated. I think the fact that this senior manager was first extremely late to the lunch and then very "casual" (e.g., talking about drinking and using excessive profanity) came off as very unprofessional and wandered into feeling inappropriate.
Overall the interview process wasn't terrible, but the last interview left me with such a negative impression that it made me rethink if I would have accepted an offer if it have been extended. I'm not sure it would have been a "good fit" based on that last impression. I can say this now after going through other interview processes and landing a job at a tech company on the west coast where the level of professionalism throughout the interview process was night and day. The interview process is just as much for the applicant to decide if this is a good fit for them as it is for the employer. Fortunately, this applicant realized it wasn't for them.
I applied online. I interviewed at GLG (New York, NY) in Feb 2019
Interview
there were three rounds of interviews, one prescreener interview, the second interview was a video conference where there was a case study and role playing exercise, the third round was a three hour interview where you will meet with various people. The third round is extremely long without breaks nor were refreshments offered.When I first walked in I knew immediately they wouldn't offer me the job. This company pretends to hold values of diversity and inclusion but they do not practice what they preach. This company seriously lacks people of color. After the third interview, I sent not only a thank you email but a follow up email as well with no response. This company and employees lack professionalism, they completely ghosted me, they didn't even send the standard rejection email. In hindsight I am so thankful I was not hired for this position it seems extremely toxic.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at GLG (New York, NY) in Mar 2018
Interview
Applied online and was contacted the next day for a phone screening with the department manager. The recruiter took several days to respond to my availability, but set me up with an interview by the end of the week. Department manager called on time and explained the role very well and asked basic questions about my resume.
I was told I would be contacted "soon" with more information, but they never got in touch with me. After a week, I attempted to contact the recruiter, but she ignored my email. Another two weeks passes and I emailed the department manager directly only to be ignored again. Very unprofessional HR department.
