I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Chicago, IL)
Interview
The process is very cumbersome. Be prepared for oddball questions as the interviews are situational interviews and the same questions are asked of all canditates. You may be fortunate to have an interviewer who also tries to get to know you. Be prepared for role play on manager to subordinate situations.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time (is how all the questions start)...when you were given a deadline for a task that you knew you could not meet. How did you handle the situation, what was the reaction from your manager/peers/subordinates & what was the result?
Very organized and uses standard questions to determine if you can work well as an individual contributor or as a team member. There is not a correct answer, rather they want to know whay you would do in different situations.

Basic questions and roll play. How would you handle this situation and that situation? Mostly, how do you motivate others and change negative behaviors. Resume provides, phone call very basic review of resume with HR, in person interview with boss, and phone conf with to mbrs that would be peers.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Redlands, CA)
Interview
Two interviews conducted by Asst General Managers, if you make it through them you interview with the GM. The setup was ridiculously obvious, three guys over 40 and a young gun (who the GM walked out to the floor to show him around). I think they have an N+2 policy, so I think we were basically interview fodder. Only asked a couple questions, one manager actually kept looking at his phone and the other looked like his dog died the entire time. If it was a serious interview there would have been many more probing questions. We did get a logo'd swag bag, I sat it on the steps for an HD associate to pick up. I was warned about the "orange politics" but decided to try anyway.
