Solicité el puesto por otro medio. El proceso duró más de 1 semana. Acudí a una entrevista en Glassdoor en mar 2014
Entrevista
I was intro'ed to a Director of Product Management by a friend, and luckily he was the hiring manager for the position I was most interested in. Had an initial screen call to cover my background, then an in-depth call to discuss ideas relating to Glassdoor.
He then referred me to a VP for a second opinion, and that call was substantially harder as I think he was dubious about by background to start. My experience is largely in early stage startups and as an entrepreneur, and I had never worked at a later-state startup like Glassdoor. He asked for some work examples, which I sent, but it was not enough to convince him. It was frustrating because I believe the hiring manager wanted to hire me and I was enthusiastic about the role (and believe I was well-suited for it).
After I received a somewhat boilerplate rejection, I asked the VP for some feedback as to why they passed. He was happy to answer: They were looking for a candidate with more high-traffic website experience.

Straightforward about the roles of the job and prior experience. Why you would be a good fit for the position. Background information on you. Can also ask any relevant questions you might have that come up.
Not sure if the disorganization and discourtesy [to follow up] was unique to the recruiter or a reflection of the organization's culture.
- Had a phone interview with the recruiter, but I couldn't hear half of what they were saying because they were in a very noisy environment (it honestly sounded like a party was happening in the background).
- Was told that the next round would be a Zoom meeting, but a Zoom link was never set out and instead it defaulted to another phone interview which resulted in the interviewer's tardiness due to the mix up.
- The interviewer seemed to suggest that I'll be speaking with the team in the next round of interviews at the end of the conversation
- And then they ghosted me despite follow ups requesting status and feedback.
My apologies that your experience was not positive, please reach out to me directly and I will ensure we provide clear feedback for you.

First stage was easy, technical challenge was difficult . Had a few days to prepare a proposal in advance and present it back along with a data analysis challenge which you were not able to prepare for
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. While I am sorry to hear that we weren't able to move forward on this occasion, I do wish you the best for the future.
