I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at RH (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2018
Interview
I first spoke with a recruiter over the phone, which led to an onsite interview with 2 team members, in addition I was asked to complete a design challenge within one weeks time using Rh product and present the design to the Design Director. After the design presentation, I was asked to re-design what I presented to see how well I take feedback and design with the RH Ethos in mind. I submitted the design, and was offered the position. Each RH member I met with was very kind and professional. I enjoyed the feedback on my design, as it gave me practical advise and further information on what they were looking for. The employer asked a lot of questions about how I work with people, or what I would like to spend my time doing. They want to see where you would best fit in the company based on what you would want to learn/ how you would want to grow.
Walked in and was greeted by a table of ladies who worked there. The RH I interviewed at is in a mall. Our interview was held in the corridor of the mall and it was extremely loud and very distracting with people walking around shopping. The interview took about 30 mins and was pretty typical.

Interview
This was one of the most disappointing interviews. I've always wanted to work for Restoration Hardware, but after this interview process, I will never apply again. It was a very unprofessional process. Initially, I was emailed about setting up a time to speak on the phone. I emailed back and said when I was available according to the dates that were presented to me. I waited for a response, but more than a week went by so I wrote a follow up email. Several days later, I still had not received a confirmation email and it was the day of the supposed interview. A few hours later I received an email saying she has been busy and she will follow up with me tomorrow. No worries. Then, the next day, waiting for her response, I receive an email and then a text stating that she has me on her calendar and is running late for our phone call one minute before our supposed interview. She never told me we actually had an interview planned or confirmed a time or date. I told her I could be available but was unaware of the interview on this date or this time. She then said she wouldn't make the call and would call tomorrow. She did call the next day but was late. The interview was fine, pretty basic questions, she talked a lot and cut my answers off a few times. She even put me on hold after asking me a question for some customers. She took the phone call outside, so it was also a little distracting. Overall, the actual interview wasn't horrible, but the whole thing seemed so unprofessional. She told me the next steps and said she was email me the details in the next few days for the second interview. I never heard from her. I also never followed up because I didn't feel like I wanted to work for someone who didn't respect me or my time.
