Very simple and easy. Interviewer was very nice and professional. Made me feel very welcome and immediately told me if I would get the job after the interview. Overall was a good interview!
The interview was broken into several stages with unclear goals and confusing communications. I was shuffled across teams and given contradictory information from different people at different stages of the interview.
I applied online. I interviewed at JCPenney (Florence, KY) in Jan 2025
