The interview process was good at first. I completed two initial phone interviews and the case study interview before finally scheduling a trip out to Austin to complete my final in-person interview. In the time period between the last two interviews my recruiter fell out of touch with me. I received no confirmation of the interview despite having sent multiple emails trying to reach out. Upon my arrival in the office it seemed as though they were not prepared to have me. Having been so excited about the opportunity at the start, by the end I felt as though the company did not care at all. This final lack luster experience left me disappointed in the company.

Entrevista
There was an HR screener over the phone which was pretty straightforward. Asking me about my research experience and why GLG. Then I landed a first interview which I thought went pretty well! I thought me and the guy got along, it was an engaging conversation. Next steps were to be a case study interview and a final interview. And then I got GHOSTED. There was zero response whatsoever. This was 3 weeks ago, and I still haven't heard back.

Why would someone want to sit next to you at work? Why do you want to work for GLG?
Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). Fiz uma entrevista na empresa GLG.
Entrevista
I got a LinkedIn msg from hr, explained to me about the position for few min and I also went through my resume. After few days I was scheduled for a case study interview with a team manager.
5 rounds in total. First with an agency recruiter, second with GLG staff which involves a mandatory second language assessment otherwise they wouldn't be interested in hiring you. I spoke to the team leader and a colleague who appreciated my past experiences and skills. Consequently, in the fourth round, you are required to perform a case study for them which takes 1:30h. You are being assured that there is no wrong or right answer but the goal is to establish your reasoning and thinking. After, completing the case study they decided not to move forward with my application because of the lack of quality that went into it.
For the case study, you are allowed 1 hour to provide a list of experts containing names, positions, and company that can answer or advise to the following question - A client (laptop manufacturer) approaches GLG asking them for advice on the current trend in laptop sales.
I executed by researching prominent experts in the industry with 17 names and 2 alternative companies who specialize in market research and included my reasoning for my choices. The interviewer also asks you to rank yourself from 1-10 on your performance.
Even though they assure that there is no right or wrong answer they already have a certain way of doing things and your way of thinking or researching may not be acceptable.
Hope this helps to anyone that is planning to interview or who are in the latter stages of their interview with this company.
Good luck.
