Interviewed with the direct report manager, director, and couple creative members individually. The interview took whole morning, which is normal for any associate position interview. All behavioral questions, nothing really unexpected.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you do if the team you are working with is not giving effort and the project is hitting deadline.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Sears (Hoffman Estates, IL) in May 2011
Interview
Phone screen followed by an interview with 3-4 people that are related to the department. Some may be random people they will pull in to check the box that you were interviewed.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Sears (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2015
Interview
interview with multiple PM's and senior people up to VP. two visits to Hoffman Estates which is out in the middle of nowhere. No Train station near and over an hour in traffic to commute from down town Chicago. Phone interview to start with incredibly nice and efficient HR people. The best part of the company.

Question 1
Obvious the managers were not very skilled. keenly focused on whether you actually did the work.
What was your process, What did you do, how did you do it. Asking questions about things they were not good at.
Really good indication this company will not succeed.
