I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Sausalito, CA) in May 2014
Interview
The interview process was quick and efficient, but thorough. Within a day or so I got an email about a phone interview. The first interview was with the individual in charge of hiring for the team. Lasted about 30 minutes with the simple basic questions as well as some specific questions about the team, role, expectations, how your experience would make you valuable, and why you want to work for Glassdoor. After that, I got an immediate email asking for the second phone interview with the Head of Business Development. This one lasted about 15-20 minutes, but the questions were a lot more specific to the role - asked about how I would specifically contribute, what I thought Business Development was and how I would work with the team, as well as why I wanted to work for Glassdoor and how I would help foster growth and development. I was invited to the final round at the end of the call, which was surprising because it was moving quite fast, and sure enough I got an email inviting to the in-person interview.
Since I'm located in LA, they had given me different travel options. They flew me out, put me in a really nice hotel about 2 minutes away from the office, and paid for the taxi/car service to and from the airport. The In-person interview was 3 rounds, each with a different member of the team. I spoke with the Senior Business Development Associate, Manager, and VP. Each person had their own questions - mostly dealing with why I wanted to work at Glassdoor and how I could contribute to the team. The VP was, by far, the most candid of all the individuals I had interviewed with. He was open and extremely honest, which was refreshing and truly spoke to Glassdoor's model of transparency.
The entire process, from the first phone call to the offer letter, took about a week which is extremely fast. But they told me they like to move along the hiring process as fast as possible. They were extremely courteous, thorough, and really flexible with working with my schedule - which I was extremely grateful and appreciative of. Each member was easy to talk to and the passion they had for Glassdoor and their team was plain to see. I have to say that the interview process was one of the most painless processes I've been through!

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Sausalito, CA) in May 2014
Interview
Initial contact was a quick technical phone screen that included questions about html, css, javascript, and wordpress. After that I was asked to come in for an onsite interview at the main office. The onsite interview was 5 separate 1:1 interviews each lasting an hour for a total of 5 hours. The interviewers asked a series of technical questions that tested both knowledge and ability to deliver coding solutions. The onsite interview included questions about html, css, javascript, mysql, wordpress, and project/time management. Answering the questions consisted of walking through solutions verbally, written on a white board, and on paper.
When I arrived I was greeted quickly and only waited a few minutes before the interviews began. Each interviewer was well spoken, knowledgeable, and pleasant to speak to. The office itself was very nice, clean, professional, and had a fun atmosphere.

Question 1
The most difficult question I dealt with was dynamically wrapping text around a circular image that was centered in the middle of a block of text. The challenging part was that each line had to come within a few pixels of the circle, break at the middle, and continue on the other side. I had never run into this type of design challenge before so finding a solution took some time.
