GLSEN interviews FAQs
Glassdoor users rated their interview experience at GLSEN as 28.6% positive with a difficulty rating score of 2.83 out of 5 (where 5 is the highest level of difficulty). Candidates interviewing for Director and Intern rated their interviews as the hardest, whereas interviews for Manager and Intern roles were rated as the easiest.
The hiring process at GLSEN takes an average of 24 days when considering 7 user submitted interviews across all job titles. To compare, the average duration of hiring at similar companies like BlackRock, Inc. is 14 days, Fabricated Software, Inc. is 2 days, and Apple Inc. is 21 days. Candidates applying for Manager had the quickest hiring process (on average 10 days), whereas Communications and Media Relations Manager roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 42 days).
I hadn’t looked on Glassdoor when I originally applied, only after my interview was scheduled and canceled multiple times. Given the aims of the organization, I practiced patience and wanted to believe the claims that positive change was happening. Frankly, if it’s happening, it must be a very long-term project. I had two interviews, both pretty informal but with questions focused on the role, and both ending with confirmation of advancing to another. Then I was just ghosted, even after checking in with both people who interviewed me. Following up with people who put the time and effort into interviewing must be further out in the plan for change. Based on my experience and the others listed here, I’d look elsewhere.
Odd and then racist unfortunately.
The odd part was how disorganized and at cross purposes the process of setting up the interview was. It felt very unprofessional. The racist part I describe below.

Question 1
A question about my race, which is of course against the law. Even worse, no one else in the small GLSEN group retracted the question or reacted in any way at all.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at GLSEN (New York, NY) in Sep 2021
Interview
The interview process was a positive experience. It included three interviews with the initial meeting and interview with the Director of the department. The second interview was with an internal team from cross departments. The third interview was with the rest of the department I was joining.
The team members interviewing were aware of background and were well researched on my work experience, so the questions seemed thought out. The questions asked also allowed for conversations, which allowed for more personal connections. The team members I met and their openness and personal commitment to GLSEN's mission and was a deciding factor of accepting this position.
