Recruiting process was wonderful! The merchandising team was lovely, HR was great and very willing to work with your schedule, and interviews were pretty normal. Process consists of a phone screen, an hour long case, and then a 3-hour final round (1 case, 3 behavioral).
Only downside was that their salary was significantly lower than comparable roles at other companies, which seems to be something frequently stated in Glassdoor reviews. Ended up declining offer for another role with 50% higher salary
Flew me to Boston for an interview. Met with 4 people. Asked standard questions about experience and behavioral situations. Asked some retail math questions and showed excel chart and asked you to solve and interpret data. After the interview, I never heard back from the company, never even emailed me to say I didn’t get the job.
