• Glassdoor published its list breaking down the best companies of 2018.
• If you want to land a job at one of these organizations, you’re going to have to bring your A game to the interview.
• Using data from Glassdoor, Business Insider took a look at what it’s like to interview at these beloved organizations.
Considering the generous perks and envy-worth office environments of some of the companies Glassdoor listed in its annual Employees’ Choice Awards, it’s understandable why you’d be tempted to submit your résumé to a few.
But how easy is it to rock a job interview at these places?
Business Insider looked at Glassdoor’s numbers on the percentage of interviewees who reported a positive experience, as well as the difficulty level of each company’s interviews for the top 25 best companies to work for.
