Begins with a group interview sitting in a circle where you start to learn a little about the character of the company. Creative answers and outside the box thinking are encouraged.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Container Store (Indianapolis, IN) in Jan 2013
Interview
I applied and within a few weeks received an email inviting me to a group interview. This was followed up with a call inviting me to an individual interview about a week later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
During the group interview, I was asked to discuss an organizing challenge that I face in my own life and then choose a product from the store that I thought would help me solve this problem. I was also asked to choose one word that I felt best described The Container Store and discuss my choice. The group interview was very low-key and informal.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at The Container Store (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2019
Interview
Applied online. Next day get a phone call to come in for open interviews the next day. Come in and 2 people interview me. After the 2nd, I was told to wait for a phone call. That generally means you did not get the job. Apparently you have to meet with all the managers and get approval from all of them. Seeing as one sent me out, I guess it was a no.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Container Store (New York, NY) in July 2018
Interview
I applied in the beginning of July 2018. Two days later, I received an email for a phone interview. After the phone interview session, I was invited to go to the store and speak with one of the managers. After speaking with the manager, a week later, I found out that I was offered the position and was given a start date based on my schedule at the time.
