I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Decathlon (Londres, Inglaterra) in Mar 2014
Interview
one to one interview 2 times with 2 different department managers. It was friendly, nice to talk to them. There was no pressure on me. At the end they aske me to have a look at the department and say few positive and negative things.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why decathlon? What sport do I do? How would I deal with complaining customer? In what order would I deal with more customer in the same time?
1 phone call first, general questions and finally an appointment for a face to face interview.
Then 2 interviews face to face, the last one with a manager. 30 min each interview. Easy and general questions, don't be worried.
Describe the sport you do and base on that you will work in one or other department.

Interview
Entetien classique, pas de question piège : motivations pour le poste, pourquoi cette entreprise, valeurs. Entretien avec le responsable de rayon voire avec un autre collaborateurs (responsable ou vendeur). Les personnes de l'entreprise se présentent avec leur parcours, leurs spécialités (sport) et ensuite c'est au candidat de se présenter. Viennent ensuite les questions sur le profil du candidat, ses motivations, la cohérence de son projet avec les besoins de l'entreprise etc.
