Question 1
how did you deal with a difficult situation? STAR.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at REI (San Luis Obispo, CA) in July 2025
Interview
The first stage was completely online. I took the online interview which asked questions and you had 3 minutes to record your answer and submit it; three attempts could be taken. Withdrew application after a few days, so I don't know how the rest of the process is.
