Interviewed Nov 2008 in Dallas, TX (took 3 weeks)
Neiman Marcus came to my school to recruit for the Executive Development Program. There was an information session about the program and then we had to apply online and take a timed aptitude test. Then there was a one on one interview with the recruiter which asked basic questions about experience and interest in retail. After the interview, they flew me out to Dallas for an interview, which included a city tour of Dallas, dinner with the other interviewees and buyers, an in basket interview session which is a timed test which you later review your answers and reasoning with a NM executive, group projects, and a drug test. Overall, they were very thorough and professional.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Grapevine, TX (took 1 week)
Online application and then received call back. Interviewed with the lead of the department. Very easy going fun interview. Very comfortable. Asked the typical interview questions. Second interview was with HR manager. She was very awkward. Couldn't tell if she liked me or not. Felt very uncomfortable as far as facial expressions and responses I got back. She asked the same questions and a little bit more about experience. Got an offer and then submitted to background check, drug test and then credit check. After everything I still didn't feel as though I got the position because of the awkward interview, but I did. Turns out, that was just her personality.
