Career site Glassdoor launches interview-prep section
Glassdoor, the career site that gives users details on what it’s like to work at thousands of companies, has launched a new section on its site designed to help the swelling ranks of job seekers better prepare for interviews.

Glassdoor, a Sausalito, Calif.-based startup in stealth mode, has raised $3 million in a second funding round led by Benchmark Capital.
