Rather an intense interview process with 3 different steps. The first step was informational, the second step was building a unique brand, and the third step was presenting the brand you designed. Didn't make it past the third round.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Gap in Oct 2022
Interview
It was three rounds in four weeks. The first two were a week apart and the last round happened two weeks after the second round. The first round was a behavioral interview with a short exercise during it. The second round was project based, you had about 5 days to do it because it had to be submitted 2 days before your interview and they did not give you the prompt until exactly 7 days before your interview. The project was intense but easily doable. I took about 10-12 hours doing the project, then after I practiced presenting it. The last round was 2 interviews and then a group activity. I had to complete another project but this one was quicker. The two interviews were a mixed of behavioral questions and questions about both projects. The group activity was them watching how we interacted in a group when creating an idea. I did this entire process virtually. Every interviewer I met was very focused on the interview and getting their notes, but also they had some personality as well. I had a good experience but it was one of my challenging interview processes ever.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gap in Sept 2021
Interview
The interview process includes an 1-hour online assessment (with behavioral and logic/comprehension questions), call with a recruiter, case presentation with another recruiter, and final interview. The video screen with the recruiter includes questions about the recent product/fashion trends as well as behavioral questions.
