I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at REI (Tustin, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Unlike any other interview I've been in. It is a group interview where you interact, have fun and really get to show who you are. I feel like it's a great way for a company to know your style and fit within the team and business.

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.
