Interviewed Feb 2012 in Yorktown Heights, NY (took 2 days)

General, unimaginative phone interview. What's your strengths, weakness? Why Toys R Us? Blah, blah, blah. The interview actually went very well, but I wasn't given an offer b/c of my bad credit.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 5 days)

A ton of interviews, many of which were on the phone. All the members of management seems very credible. They fail to share the reality of the work life imbalance. The lack of resources all management faces, and the clear cut backs so the company can look good on paper.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Montebello, CA (took 3 weeks)

Groups interview/ observation in three phases;

part 1) They gave us a piece of paper to fold and asked us to write or draw three things; 1) favorite song and why 2) your first job, 3) your hobbies. Obviously they want to see your creative side and the kid inside. so don't feel to get creative..

Part2) the managers pared us up with partners and assigned us a bucket of building blocks. We were suppose to build a product and think off all the features and prices, seasons, etc... pretty much sell the product to them(once again don't be afraid to get Creative)

Part 3) individual interview consisted of two very simple questions, 1) why do you want to work for Toys R Us 2) what are your strengths and opportunities.

Interviewed Jul 2009 (took 2 weeks)

First I had a phone interview with a recruiter, very nice lady was very upbeat about the company and what I could offer to it. I was scheduled for an interview with the DM and DHRM about halfway through the phone interview. At that interview they were both very down to earth, very real people. It was really more of a conversation than an interview because I felt very comfortable with both of them and it was a give and take situation.
