Initial communication after application came about 3 weeks after submission. Scheduled a phone interview that week. Pretty specific questions about the position for which I applied (which was a position at the corporate office). Recruiter stressed that they mostly promoted from within, so I knew not to get too excited. Scheduled panel interview for 2 weeks later. 8 folks on the panel, shooting different position-related, situational questions for 45 mins. Next day, received offer which was nice in that one didn't have to wait for 3 weeks to hear the outcome.

Very quick interview process. Had phone interview with recruiter on a Wednesday and then she confirmed the panel on-site interview with me the next day to be held the following week. There was some homework to be done which encompassed going into stores and coming up with a recommendation. There was no receptionist when I walked in for interview and then sat there, past my interview time hoping someone would come out (the sign specifically said not to enter the inner doors without a guide). Then the HR person came out to get me 10 mins after my start time. Should have known better at that time. Went in anyway and there was a panel of what was around 10 people (which was kind of ridiculous). Each person had some pre-planned question; some were behavioral but some were very position-focused (which seemed weird since this was a brand new position and I was an external candidate), The hiring manager called the next day with followup questions and then called me back a few hours later on the same day offering me the position...didn't have time to think about it. But then again, maybe they don't want you to think too long.
