The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Macy's in Sept 2011
Interview
Applied through the web portal, received a call from the supervisor about one week later asking me to interview. I found the office to be less than exciting, but the interview and supervisor were great. I later met with other members of the team and we hit it off. Much of the interview was tangent conversations, but they agreed that they felt comfortable advancing me to the next round. The next round was an assignment based on the objectives of the position. Ultimately, I was called and thanked two weeks after my assignment was submitted, but told I was 'over-qualified.'
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What has been the most difficult portion of your career?
phone interview, she wanted someone to multi task the entire shift. Department head wanted to form the new employee her way and not use someone from another department. Seemed overly competitive.
I interviewed with someone at HR and then interviewed with my soon to be boss. Everyone was kind a lovely, but the process did take a bit of time, in my opinion. It was about a month between when I applied and when I heard about the first round of the interview process.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Macy's (New York, NY) in Nov 2018
Interview
Small nonprofits offer a better candidate experience than Macy's does. I had one phone screening and one in-person interview. I had to follow up after each round, in addition to a thank-you email. I also had to follow-up a month after my second interview, only to be sent a generic, two-line rejection email. I was kept completely in the dark throughout the entire process.
With such a tight job market, one would think Macy's would improve their candidate experience.
