Interviewed Aug 2010 in New York, NY (took 2 weeks)
Interviewed for a sales support position. Appearing in the "J.Crew aesthetic" and being outgoing, bubbly, and truly passionate about the brand is really what they seemed to be looking for.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I was able to negotiate up a couple dollars from the original offer. The amount still isn't much. I would try to negotiate up no matter what. Most positions are offered with a little room to move around in.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Manhattan Beach, CA (took 2 weeks)
I walked into the store directly and asked if I could speak with the manager - from whom I asked if they were hiring. She handed me an application which I took home to fill out and came back the next day to hand it to her. It took 2 weeks for her to call me back in which she asked me to come in and interview with the hiring manager. She asked questions such as my previous retail experience, what are my strengths, weaknesses, what was a time when I used leadership skills and good customer service. After the interview she told me I did well and that the next step would be to come in next week to interview with the Store Manager. The Store Manager pretty much asked the same exact questions and then hired me at the end of the interview.

Negotiation Details
Because JCrew is such a large corporation they have the hourly pays to a science therefore there was no negotiation. I felt as though I was underpaid for my retail experience.
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Raleigh, NC (took 2+ weeks)
Dropped off an application and then was called in for an interview. Talked with the hiring manager first which was very basic, mainly explaining availability. Later had an interview with the store director that was not very long and very informal.

Interviewed May 2010 in Walnut Creek, CA (took 1 week)
Walked into the store and was asked if I'd be interested in a job there. I picked up an application and forwarded it to the Store Director. Set an appointment and met in-person at the store. Very causal conversation about my past experience. Advice: must be a people-person.

Interviewed Apr 2010 (took a day)
I was asked only three simple questions:
1) Why J. Crew?
2) What was my role in my previous position?
3) What is an example of a time when you delivered exemplary customer service?
They as well discussed scheduling flexibility and desired number of hours.

The process took about a week in total. The hiring manager simply asked questions about my experience and why I wanted to work at the company. The managers are incredibly friendly and the process was relatively simple.
