I applied online. I interviewed at Burlington Stores (New York, NY)
Interview
I made it to the first step in the interviewing process which was an online HireVue interview. The interview was more so focused on behavioral questions ie relating to teamwork, problem solving, etc of the candidate than reason for their interest in the company and qualifications.

Interview
I was selected to complete a first round interview for the development program pretty soon after I applied. I completed the interview in time and reached out to the hiring manager as well. It has been over a week and my application status has not changed and I have not heard from the HM, curious if this is normal or if they usually reply sooner

Question 1
How has your previous experience prepared you for this role
I applied online. I interviewed at Burlington Stores in Dec 2025
Interview
The interview process consisted of a HireVue interview followed by a final round interview with a talent manager and buyer. The final interview included standard behavioral questions as well as a case study portion. As someone looking to transition into the buying field with limited direct experience, I was hoping for a more conversational and supportive environment. Unfortunately, the interview felt intimidating at times, and I left feeling discouraged rather than evaluated fairly as an entry-level candidate. While the role itself seemed interesting, the experience negatively impacted my perception of the company and interview culture.

Interview
Applied via LinkedIn and received a first round interview within 2 weeks. The first round was through HireVue and you recorded yourself responding to a pre-recorded set of questions. You had about a minute to prepare your response and 2 minutes to record your response. Additionally there was a personality assessment attached at the end. Never received a response to my interview, even after sending follow up emails to their recruiting team.
