Interviewed Jan 2012 in New York, NY (took 3 weeks)
I applied on Craigslist and got a call from Abercrombie and fitch recruiting office. The interview was at 9pm. I came in a little earlier to fill out the application. They had us wait. Then we was interview as a group and she asked us to tell a little bit about ourselves & asks 4 questions. Very relax and calming . She either called on us or we raised our hands. Then we asked any questions we had and was told that they were conducting background checks and told us within 10 business days they will or wouldn't hear from them .

Interviewed May 2011 in New Albany, OH (took 6+ weeks)
The hiring process seemed thorough and professional, however, the duration of the process was what ultimately drove me away from the company. I started with an interview over Skype, then did not hear back from the HR rep for over a week. After I followed up, I was told they wanted to schedule an on-campus interview, but needed to work out several schedules and would get back to me. This took about another week. I was then brought in for the interview, which was about a 5-hour process of interviewing with several different people. After that, I once again waited over a week to hear back. I followed up with the HR rep and waited some more. I finally heard back and was told the position might not be available after all, but that they'd like me to interview again for a similar position. More waiting to schedule, but was finally brought in again. Similar interview process, about 5 hours. Then more waiting after that. After over another week of waiting to hear back, I contacted the HR rep to decline the position. I have since heard similar stories from other people interviewing at A&F's headquarters here in Columbus, OH.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in New Albany, OH (took 4 days)
I applied online through my university's career services website. I was contacted by an HR recruiter to set up a time to do a Skype interview. I dressed in A&F casual for the skype interview (Recommended if not Required). The skype interview consisted of standard interview questions, background, why do you want to work for A&F, etc. The next round was a face to face interview at my university's career services building. This interview consisted of two rounds and a Wonderlick IQ Test. The IQ test was conducted by an HR recruiter with a the whole group of interviewees. It consisted of 50 SAT style questions and you have 12 minutes to complete. Then there wasa face to face with an HR recruiter and a face to face with an Inventory Manager (Allocator). These interview questions included: Describe a time when you were unable to meet a deadline, what is your definition of success, why did you want to apply for a position with A&F, what word would your friends most use to describe you, discussion of your resume etc. The next round was an invite to attend a 2 day Home Office interview. Day 1 you arrived at the hotel, was greeted by HR and presented an A&F gift bag with a generous amount of A&F merchandise. Dress was A&F casual, everyone was wearing Flip Flops and it was December. You first go on a tour of Columbus. The main goal of the two day process was to not only make sure you were a fit for A&F but to make sure A&F and Columbus were a fit for you. Home Office day 1 activities include a state of the business presentation by a Senior VP, a Q&A session with that senior VP, a Q&A session with a team of varying levels of Allocators, and various tours of the campus. The next part was a meet and greet/dinner with Interviewers from the next days events. It was very social with drinks before and after dinner. Much of the interview process focused on your personality and how social you are. Day 1 ended with the return to the hotel to prepare for the next day. Day 2 consisted of a tour of the campus stores. During the tour and throughout the entire home office visit, your encouraged to ask as many questions as possible. If you run out of questions you should continue to ask the same questions to other employees to get different perspectives. The next phase a an allocation related team excercise with your group (there were approximately 20 candidates for this round and your are split into groups of 5 or six). Though this exercise was Allocation related, the goal of this activity was more to see how you interact with your group and what role you play in a team environment. The final stage was 3 rounds of interviews and a case study. The case study was 45 minutes long and consisted of real life allocation scenarios. The interviews consisted of 2 interviews with HR and one interview with a Senior Allocator. You are told you will hear back no later than 3 weeks after the home office visit. It was certainly one of the most intense interview processes I went through but also the most beneficial and engaging. You really have a great feel for the position and the culture at the end.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 3 days)
Basically you apply at the store and they're ALWAYS hiring. The good thing is that you choose the interview date (Tuesday or Friday) and you just show up. I had a group interview. We were separated into two groups, Models and Impacts. The questions consisted of at least 3 questions that the manager just read right off the paper and wrote down your answers. The key question was diversity and the other people answered incorrectly. Everyone answers the same questions. The interview was really short. I got an offer like 3 days after and accepted. The people are actually chill there and I don't think it's based on looks cause the place I work at are just average looking people. Clothing for women - dark skinny jeans, a&f top, flip flops/chucks. No eye liner, make-up is allowed as long as it is natural looking. No nail polish on fingernails. Schedule is really flexible.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
The application process was very easy and you get to pick the day you want the interview. My interview experience was horrible. At the end I just knew I wouldn't get it. It was a foreboding feeling. During the interview the interviewer seemed fixated on only one person. Even if you gave a good answer she'd give a smug smile. She wasn't really enthusiastic and seemed like she had an issue with certain people. I'll try again but hopefully I get different person.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Roseville, MN (took 6 days)
You have to fill out an application inside the store on a computer kiosk. Abercrombie Fitch and its associated companies are "always accepting applications" for in store associates. After you fill out the application you choose an interview date and the manager will tell you to show up at that date in the store. On the day of your interview you sit in the lounge and wait till everyone is there for the interview. Whatever manager is doing the interview(sometimes 2 managers) will walk the group to the food court inside the mall where the interview will be conducted. It is a mix of model and part time impact applicants in the interview. They go aroun the circle and ask the same questions for each person. One of the main questions is what do you think of diversity? And is it important in the workplace. After the interview you are free to leave and they will call you within a week if of got the job.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in New Albany, OH (took 1 week)
I found this great career position on my school's website for recent graduates. I applied and was immediately contacted by an HR member who set up a phone interview. The phone interview was pretty standard, and after we spoke I was asked out to the main campus for a face to face interview with the same HR coordinator that week.
Again, very standard first interview. I think they are evaluating your face to face presence as well as your physicality... to see if you fit in with the culture. I also took an IQ test. I was told I would know if I move on the next step that evening. She was right on time in telling me that they would love to have me out to interview with 3 team members (a director for the position, and two co-workers). Everyone was excellent, polite, personable and just absolutely amazing to speak with. Overall a fantastic, professional experience.
