I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at REVOLVE (Los Angeles, CA) in Apr 2019
Interview
Please understand that I'm not writing this interview to trash REVOLVE or it's people, but I do want to give honest feedback. There was a phone screen first - nothing out of the ordinary. Next, there was an in-person interview with 3 different people there - all people were friendly and seemed to know their craft. I sent them all a thank you email after I got home that day and maybe one of them responded (this seems normal in LA). I think a month went by (I didn't email them in the meantime because I thought I was getting another job, so I emailed them again. They had me back for more interviews and a half-day of shadowing in their studio - great, fun day, awesome people, and a well-run studio! The interviews were a little more intense this time, but overall nothing out of the ordinary. The lead retoucher could not grasp the fact that I was looking for a full-time job rather than freelancing. Twice she asked me why I was looking for a full-time job; NOT why I was looking for a job at REVOLVE. It felt very awkward and unnecessary explaining why I need a full-time job to an interviewer. This was the only interviewer who maybe smiled once during the interview. Maybe it was just her first interview. Anyway, the only other negative thing I have to say about this whole experience was that I never got feedback or a decision communicated to me. Guys, I went the extra mile to show you I wanted to work here - I applied online on Indeed, Glassdoor, LinkedIn, sent resumes and cover letters to a few email addresses there, personally dropped off a hard copy of my resume and cover letter as well. I feel like I at least deserved a response, don't you? This was over 3 months of waiting since the job listing went up.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you were 5 minutes away from a deadline to ftp your photos and you weren't ready because other people were lagging, how would you handle it?
It was ordinary. How long have you been doing this, why would you make a good fit, what do you expect out of working here. Etc etc. Felt like office space might have some cliques, but that’s seems to be normal in this industry.
