Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
Very impersonal. Phone had bad reception so I had to ask to repeat the question many times. I was pretty disappointed because I have always liked the Gap but the interviewer was not very friendly and didn't really sound very enthusiastic about what she was doing.

Interviewed Jul 2009 (took a day)
It was very laid back. The biggest thing is to state your case as to what you can deliver as an employee. Very simple for some people to do, however, others absolutely crash and burn. You need to be able to sell yourself as a passionate, motivated person that not only wants to be hired for the applied position, but plans on staying there to make changes and become a leader. Be sure to know what you can offer the company for it's growth, and also what the opportunities you think the company can provide for your growth as an individual. Be real.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 2 weeks)
First round consisted of two 30 minute one on one interviews. The questions were mostly behavioral, and quite a few about your education. One interviewer was part of the program and the other was a senior employee from one of the three positions that you'd be placed in at the end of the program. People were nice and friendly.
Got invited for second round which consisted of a project. Had one week to complete the project before presenting in a one on one interview over Skype. The questions were much more retail oriented, with an emphasis on the quantitative aspect of the job. Didn't get a third round because my financials for the poject weren't strong enough.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 2 weeks)
I filled out an application online. Then I recieved a phone call from them. I had a mini phone interview with them and was asked to come in for an interview a week later. I went in had a great interview. I found out very soon after my interview they had already did a background check and contacted my previous boss. I got the job and I couldn't be more happy with a seasonal part time job.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 2 days)
I applied online month prior to my interview, but a referral from someone working at the company got me the initial phone interview. Phone interview with HR, then a series of in-person interview with 2 people each round. They may have you interview for multiple positions, same job title, for different divisions or brands if the recruiter thinks you fit the that group dynamic.
