Group interviews were friendly and well managed. Staff were kind and understanding. Good and thoughtful interview process. I appreciate the relaxed atmosphere at the store and when speaking with the interviewers.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at REI (Fremont, CA)
Interview
Filled out an online application and received a call in two weeks to set up an interview date and time. The interview was with 2 employees, one upper management and the other a senior sales specialist. The interview lasted for about 30 minutes and happened right before the store opened. I then received a call a couple of days later with a job offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you were going on a backpacking trip, which daypack (presented two options) would you bring?
The interview process was simple and over the phone. Then I went in person. She was very nice, but the store manager was a bit off. Ultimately, it just wasn't a good fit.
Submitted resume online then they wanted me to do a really stupid video interview where I answer questions from a prompt and video record myself giving answers. Just schedule a normal interview you idiots.
