Interviewed Dec 2011 in Richfield, MN (took 3 months)
Initial interview started late, had little focus. Staff participants worried aloud about their own jobs. Position goals & objective were far-flung, lacking organization. 2nd panel interview was staff fretting over their potential job loss, not the interview. Hiring Director was passive, not engaged lacked nominal control in the interviews' direction.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Richfield, MN (took a day)
I applied online, and received a call back within an hour. The recruiter was very informative, personable, and helpful. She asked me several questions, and then offered to answer any questions I had. She gave me detailed info regarding when and how she would get back to me. She followed through the next week to let me know that I didn't get the position, but that I would be considered for several future positions.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Richfield, MN (took 6+ weeks)
Rather chaotic and disorganized. I believe they outsource their HR - scheduling interviews took multiple back-and-forth phone calls, emails, and reschedules. Interviews themselves were disorganized as well. One individual on the interview panel came in and said he only had 30 minutes instead of the 60 scheduled.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Richfield, MN (took a day)
Applied online. Received a call from a recruiter who told me I would receive a call from someone to set up an interview. Received the call from person who set up actual interview and then received an email with the interview information.
For the interview I was greeted at the main entrance and taken to the recruitment center. From there I was taken into a small interview room and we had the interview.
Following the interview I had a second meeting with an individual who then reviewed the benefits of working for Best Buy, asked me about my salary requirements and then took me on a tour of the facility.
The interview was on Wednesday. The person interviewing me stated she expected to make an offer by Friday. On Monday I was called and informed that the position had gone to an internal applicant.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Richfield, MN (took 2 months)
Had initial phone interview with HR, then it took them a while to get back to me. I came in and they said they had two jobs they were hiring for, so I would be meeting with two different teams. I had 30-45 minute interview with 4 different people. It took them a few weeks before they wrapped up their process and I received my offer

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Richfield, MN (took a day)
The interview room is very nice, they are very friendly, the questions asked are fair. A lot of times the interviews are very informal while at other times they are very formal. I don't think some of the managers are very welled trained in the interview process. The questions are all that difficult.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Richfield, MN (took a day)
The interview is heavily behavioral based questioning. The interview lasted for about 45 minutes and was conducted by two members of the Best Buy corporate team. The process was to submit our resumes via our campus career center and we were then notified if Best Buy wanted to interview us. They were on-campus interviews and I was told I'd hear back within a week if they wanted to continue with a second round interview at Best Buy in Richfield. They were very friendly and easy to talk to. Made you feel very comfortable before the interview. I had a great experience.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Richfield, MN (took 2 weeks)
I have completed only a portion of the interview process so far, which was a skills test. The skills test was very difficult; they don't expect anybody to finish with in the allowed time or to do very well. Next step I've been told is an in person interview sometime in the next two weeks. Apparently all positions here are contract work unless your in management.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Richfield, MN (took 1 week)
The whole process moved very quickly, but in a good way. It seemed that they were interested and quick to act on that. Within days of the screener phone call, a decision was made to do a face to face interview. This was a panel interview with 4 representatives from various parts of the department. This showed they wanted someone who would work well with all aspects of the job as well as with various areas. It also seemed as they were looking for someone who could articulate a very complex subject to various individuals. It showed they really were looking for the right fit and for someone who would truly fit within their team.
The interview was about 45 minutes and started with an in-depth explination of what the job entails, what would be expected as well as the direction of the department. It gave enough information without beng overwhelming as well as giving you a true insight for the position that you were applying for. Sometimes job descriptions can be a bit vague when you apply for them and the interviewers wanted to make sure all applicants understood what the job truly was.
The interviewers were friendly and knowledgable in their areas, and when they didn't know something they were honest and candid about it. No one is going to know everything about the business and to truly be good at what you do, you need to know you strengths AND weaknesses.
The offer was made quickly, professionally, and recruiter really went the extra mile to make sure your questions were answered as well as make you feel good about getting the position. You were working with a person rather than just some nameless entity.
The whole experience really emphasized Best Buy's strength based approach to staffing. Everyone had their speciality and it showed. They also made it clear they wanted someone who looked at this position as more than just a job. They wanted someone who wanted a career.
