We need a better internal interview process

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunities for internal candidates to be interviewed for promotions and cross functional opportunities

Cons

We do not treat our internal candidates the same as external candidates. Not only was it a multi-month long process but the recruiters paid no attention to the process. The recruiter actually missed our first "interview" with no explanation. It was a less than pleasing process from there. While they provided interview prep, which was welcomed, there was no follow up after any interviews and no expectations set for timelines or feedback. I love working at Glassdoor but if this was an external candidate, this would be a horrible process and first impression.

I am very sorry to hear about your experience, and appreciate you giving us the feedback. We completely agree we need a better process for our internal interviews, and are in fact working on developing a process this quarter to ensure our internal employees are treated wonderfully as they move up and around the organization.

Great fun, very rewarding! - Be prepared to WORK HARD though!

Business Outlook

Pros

- There is great energy in the office every day, I never dread coming into work - Great support from everyone, from teammates right the way up to senior leadership - Exciting international growth! - Career progression is a genuine possibility - Management want to understand how you work, and adapt to that - Plenty of autonomy, if you find a way that works better, run with it (and share it :))

Cons

- Some growing pains, which is to be expected. If you don't like change, this is definitely not for you - Sometimes the work-life balance isn't the best. As I mentioned in the title of the review, "be prepared to WORK HARD". That said, you are rewarded greatly for your effort! - Slightly stricter controls/kpi's being put in place as we grow and expand in EMEA

Pros

Small close office in a great location. Lots of support from management. Transparent culture where nothing is kept from you. Friendly colleagues. who like seeing you do well. Opportunity for international travel regularly. Great work life balance .

Cons

As with any small organisation going through rapid expansion there are some growing pains. Response rate from support services can be slow. New systems mean tracking your quota performance can be challenging. There are never enough Vit Hits in the fridge ;)
