I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at RH (San Rafael, CA) in Mar 2018
Interview
I had an interview through an agency which was suppose to be in person but due to communication issues ended up being over the phone, which went well so I was called in for a in person. Which again there was communication issues internally about where I was suppose to go and who I was seeing. The interview didn't take long. They said they would talk to the agency with their decision. They ended up ghosting the agency as well as me. For clarity that basically means they just pretended that neither of us existed and just choose not to respond. Wasting mine and the agencies time. I had expected more from Restoration Hardware, but I guess the motto they have at the front door about respectfulness is just text decoration.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me what I wanted to do, but they didn't even have a job description just list of desired skills. I had to ask them about what they needed to do for position. They did not seem ready for the interview.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at RH (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2014
Interview
A very thorough interview process, involving phone-screens followed by multiple face to face interviews. There were two phone-screens: the first was with their HR manager, the second was with the hiring department's leader. The phone screens were followed by a full day of face-to-face interviews with the department head, three senior leaders, and the division's vice president. The face-to-face interviews also involved developing a PowerPoint based training-related presentation, then presenting it to the senior leadership team, as well as writing a draft communication for their nationwide staff explaining a significant upcoming procedural change.

Question 1
Can you please describe a significant challenge you have faced in your life, and how you overcame it?
After submitting an application I received an email to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview went well. They described to me what the job entailed and asked me about my past experience.
