I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Madewell (New York, NY) in Sept 2013
Interview
It felt pretty informal due to the fact that they don't have an office area specifically for conducting interviews. We went into the managers office to conduct it (very small space, no table between the interviewer and I). Very general questions such as what do you know about the company and why you want to work there. Honestly didn't think I did that great because I was so nervous but the director was friendly and very understanding. Short interview and then she had me fill out paperwork. Got the job right away.
The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Madewell in Dec 2023
Interview
One of the most positive interviews I've been to in a while. The manager that interviewed me were very kind and understanding. I was a bit nervous just because I was a fan of the brand prior to applying, but the reviews were right. The interview process felt so seamless and non-stressful.
In-person verbal 30-minute interview. Asked about a scenario, brand knowledge, past job experience, and brand competition. Very casual and relaxed. Fairly easy interview process and immediate decision follow-up. An overall very comfortable and enjoyable interview experience.
