Colloquio
When the recruitment intern from GlassDoor.com called and asked if I was interested in having a 30 minute phone interview the following Monday, I said "YES"!
I LOVE glassdoor.com, and am a user and thought "How cool! Wouldn't it be great to work for a company that I already believe in and subscribe to!?"
Then I went to www.glassdoor.com and read some reviews of the company. OMG! Every reviewer entered a five rating... across the board! Everyone who works there LOVES, LOVES, LOVES IT! Who could not resist wanting to work for this incredible company!?
Then I read some of their press and I thought to myself "Wow, so much solid funding from so many reputable VCs! "Usually I steer against start ups, but this sounds too good to be true! "WHERE DO I SIGN!?"
So Monday came. My interview was scheduled for 2:30pm. At 2pm, my work phone rings. A young man introduces himself. He is with glassdooor.com. I'm happy to hear from him, but ask if I got the time wrong, as I had thought our interview was scheduled for 2:30pm. He puts me on hold. He comes back and apologizes "You're right, it's for 2:30pm. Here is my cell phone number, call me back here at 2:30pm." "Will do!," I promise.
Ring-a-ding-ding. It's 2:30pm. I'm calling. Once, twice, three times. Nobody is answering that cell phone number.
Odd, I think.
I call the Intern/Recruiter. Tell her about the mishap. She reschedules us for 2:30pm the very next day. He will call me, she assures me. She has all my contact info. I'm psyched again.
Next day is Tuesday. It's 2:30pm. No call. Now it's 2:40pm, still no call. You guessed it, 3pm comes and goes.... and noooooo call.
Sigh.
I went home that night a bit discouraged. I had been so excited. Such a cool job! Such a cool company!!!!
I make some dinner. I walk into my home office. I pick up my messages. Mister GlassDoor had called me at precisely 2:30pm. I check my email. Mister GlassDoor had emailed me there at the same time as well.
Odd, i think.
I write back to Mr. GD. "I'm so sorry I missed you! However, you wrote and called me at home. I'm at work during the days!"
No future calls. No future emails. Nothing.
Sigh.
The interview process went smoothly, they asked the typical questions and were very nice and polite. However I wasn’t that excited about the type of work and got a better offer.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, we appreciate it.
I am so pleased you have found an opportunity that you are excited about and wish you all the best in that role!

Colloquio
I had an initial call with a recruiter which went great. He then scheduled a call with the hiring manager for the same week.
While I had the call with the hiring manager, I could tell she was distracted. She had to take the call from the car and wasn't really engaging during the interview, but she said that she wanted to move me forward, so I didn't read too much into the distraction from the call. We all have those days.
Next came a video interview with two people. I was then told that the next step would be an onsite interview if I were passed through.
I then had another video interview scheduled with two other team members. Even though it was an added step, I could appreciate that they wanted to be thorough. I naturally assumed that the next step would be the onsite.
I then received an email from the recruiter that I would need to do yet another video interview with three more team members.
At this point it had been around 5 weeks into the process, but I was more than happy to do the interviews and felt that they went very well.
A week later I was told that I was not being moved to the final round.
I was naturally disappointed, but very much appreciated the fact that the recruiter gave me constructive feedback.
So, in all, the process was 6 weeks and that we just to get to the step before the final round.
If I had a tip to Glassdoor I would recommend that they make the process, including the number of video interviews, clear up front so people can gauge how long the process would take.

The team was very thorough and took time to get to know me personally as well as professionally. I had a few rounds of interviews that were intense, but it's clear they are committed to finding the best person for the role/team rather than just filling the need.
