Interviewed Apr 2011 (took a day)
The interview was somewhat strange because the store manager was not present. Discussed a variety of topics that didn't seem to do with the position at all. Talked about past experience, in my case I didn't have much.

Normal interview process. Met with 5 people.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I was told no to everything I ask for. Yet seeing what others have received (at lower levels) makes me wonder if my managers really asked for what I wanted. Other departments seem to get everything.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Foothill Ranch, CA (took 3 months)
Called in to interview by an off site recruiting company & interviewed with a director & 3 managers. Was told about a month & half later the position was filled by a friend of friend within the company. With much surprise about another month & a half later Oakley contacted me directly & asked for a second interview. This interview consisted of the 5 department members & then a 1:1 interview with the hiring manager. I felt the interview went well. I was very honest & direct but at some times felt I was being mocked. Many times the manager was paying more attention to their BB. They advised they would make a decision that week & promised an update by that Friday. I never heard back from them.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 1 week)
Submitted my resume online, was reached 3 days later. Was scheduled an interview which including a skills test and a 1:1 interview. Was called the next day for background check, called a week later to submit a formal offer.
This was a very laid back place, and the employees were really great. It was a really comfortable environment. They prefer if you're natural, and like when you come into the interview dressed as you normally would. The skills test was really fun, and easy also.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Foothill Ranch, CA (took 2 days)
Met first with the hiring manager. Interview environment is casual (dress to blend in so they can picture working with you - no suit and tie) Interview was conversational and went well.
I then met with the Director (the hiring manager's boss). He was more direct, asked very specific questions. Know your stories and keep them short and on point (what was the goal, obstacle you overcame, how you affected the bottom line, etc.). This went well too.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Negotiated with HR on the phone and they followed up with a written offer. I countered with written offers. Went 3 rounds. It was 2-3 days between responses (on both sides), I now now this was because the offers were going to the Director for review and approval.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took a day)
I handed in a CV to the store. They quickly called me up to arrange an interview. We met outside the store and the manager went over Oakley's reputation, how the business works, the things that are involved in the job role, the products, etc. Then we spoke about my experiences and what I am currently doing. The interview wasn't long but he called up the next day to offer me a job and I accepted.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Foothill Ranch, CA (took 1 week)
I was contacted within 4 hours of submitting my resume and had my first phone interview, and was contacted a few days later for a second interview with the team lead where I was asked to do a quick test demonstrating my abilities.
I was then asked to come in the early the next week for an interview with the team, and the team leads, which was great - they will ask you to come dressed casually (jeans and a tee shirt, and you'll fit right in). In this interview they are first and foremost seeing if you mesh well with the existing team. After about a half hour of meeting with the team I was taken on a brief (awesome) tour, and that was that.
They hire proactive, laid back, 'can do' personalities, and this is very apparent in everyone you will meet.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I was juggling another job offer offering considerably more. I let the team lead know I was being offered more, but that I would be willing to compromise for a chance to work with the company (it's a great place). They told me they had other candidates to consider and that they'd let me know within a week. I received a phone call the next morning with an offer for slightly less than the other position - which I accepted. In all it was a painless process. Just be honest about what you want, and they'll return the favor.
Being personable and very easy to communicate with will go a long way. Regardless of how good you think your work is, the teams work is 100x better - respect that. Be humble yet confident about your accomplishments/abilities and be teachable. No one likes a wise ass know-it-all regardless of how polished their work is.

Interviewed May 2008 in Foothill Ranch, CA (took 1 week)
three rounds of interview and a final group interview. It seemed like they were looking for fit and the kind of questions they threw out made it seem like a fraternity hazing initiation. It seemed like a prelude of what's to come at Oakley. Mentally crossed them of the list.
