I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Gap Inc. (Louisville, KY) in Jan 2015
Interview
Initial phone call with GM, followed by in-person interview. Then i had a phone interview with a GM from another store. They asked some typical corporate mandated interview questions that were pretty easy. Some were situational, others were experience questions. after the last interview, i waited about 3 days and got called back with my offer.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Gap Inc. (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
Pretty standard. I applied directly, then got contacted by a recruiter who setup a time later in the week to talk about the position and what I am looking for. That led to a phone screen the following week, and then an onsite the week after. Overall the speed was great - there's a clear intent to fill the role as quickly as possible.
The problem came later during the onsite process, when the entire setup felt rushed. Also there seems to be perceived arrogance from the team that I would not have expected. You are not Uber or Airbnb, sorry. The technology of the digital division is clearly way behind even in the larger retail landscape, and the team has no understanding of mobile technologies to do the things they actually wanted to do. I actually felt like walking out, because it was clearly a waste of time.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gap Inc. (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
Phone call with recruiter followed by a couple phone screens by hiring managers. Most of the questions were about my experience, and most of the phone screen time was spent selling Gap to me -- it was great, I felt special. I came on-site for a day of interviews. I believe 5 straight 1-hr interviews with Directors and above. No one blew off the interview, there were no breaks, and i felt like I had been prioritized. I don't think I've ever had that experience before -- no one was even a few minutes late to the interview! Great balance of selling me on the role and poking into who I was. I clicked with every manager. I was interviewing with another high profile company in the area, and by the end of my interviews at Gap I knew where I needed to be -- I turned down a higher salary at an amazing company because I knew Gap was a better fit for me (and the work was more exciting as well).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe your role at your current company. (Sorry, I don't remember any specific questions and Glassdoor isn't giving me a pass on filling this out -- suffice to say that the questions were all simple "what do you do, and why do you do it" kind of things)
