I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at GLG (New York, NY)
Interview
I applied online and moved through the first phases of the interview very quickly — I had two phone interviews and one in person at the office within two weeks. The first call was basic behavioral, the second was a more in-depth discussion on the position and my qualifications. The on-site interview involved meeting with four employees to discuss the company, their business model, and the role. After that it was just a waiting game.
I applied online. I interviewed at GLG (New York, NY)
Interview
Frustrating communications, HR needs an overhaul. Got a request for a phone interview about a week and half after submitting my resume online. I read up on Glassdoor and did my research of GLG business model, but this talk was very focused on "you": tell me about yourself, why do you want to work here, how would your experiences match the job description. Even asked about my undergrad GPA (uhhh, it was 10 years ago, I obviously graduated and got my degree...)
From here, the person passes your information onto the "relevant department". He specifically requested that I "follow up" if I don't hear from him, so after a week, I did, to no response - then a second time, after another week, again to no response. (Guess I learned about rhetorical statements here.) A few months later, I'm e-mailed by another HR person for another phone conversation, and after I respond with my availability, complete silence. It's been two weeks.
Great! Thanks.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at GLG (Austin, TX) in Mar 2013
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter after having submitted my resume to them for business development and consulting roles.
I was looking to move to Austin, Texas but was still finishing work in London, UK - GLG was excellent with managing international communication and an interview schedule considering great distances and difficulties.
I had two phone interviews, a case study interview, and then four in person interviews (all on the same day) with people in the London office who had worked in the Austin office and could evaluate me on their behalf.
GLG was super efficient and easy to work with in communicating their needs and balancing being friendly and fair in interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There was an informal case study at the final round which was challenging to find the right level of explanation and gauge how in depth to the case they wanted me to get. Asking about how a PE firm might utilize McKinsey and what role GLG would play in this scenario.
