Getting an interview for global entry is actually pretty easy, you can just do it on the return leg of international travel with no appointment needed.

When I’m on my way back from an international location the last thing I want to do is sit in a TSA office and answer questions about my identity.

But, then again, I lucked out - TSA came to my work and did interviews there. Kind of weird but it got me in with little hassle.

Well you're in luck - it's not TSA that interviews you, it's CPB!

Can you elaborate on this process?

When you enter customs upon re-entry to the US there's a sign for a place where they'll do your interview real quick before letting you go. The downside (IIRC) is that you don't get your number for precheck either until you do this, so if you only do international travel 1-2 times per year you might want to find an interview time.
