Interviewed Jan 2008 in Victoria, TX (took a day)
I went into the store and fretrieved an application to fill out at home. Once I finished the application I returned it and was called back for an interview. Typical questions such as why should we hire you over the other candidates. Very comfortable setting overall.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Fresno, CA (took 1 week)
I interview for Babies R Us in December 2011. I was contacted by HR to come in for an interview. Overall I had two interviews. The first interviewer was a shift manager and only took less than 10 minutes. He asked basic questions, such as what I was currently doing (school) and my future plans for after that. He asked about my prior work experience as a cashier, and then asked about my availability. 5 days later I got a call to come in for a second interview with the store manager. He asked the same questions, along with a couple scenario ones. I was offered the job on the spot.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Austin, TX (took 3 days)
I applied, they called me back for a group interview. It was at 7am before the store opened and only 3 of the 5 scheduled actually showed up.
We first told our names and favorite cartoon character.
Then we were asked to make a toy out of mega blocks as a team and then market it back to the panel of managers. Halfway through, they "recalled" all the yellow blocks and we had to rebuild without them. The trick on this one is they dump out a certain number of blocks for you to work with, but never say you can't go back to the bin they came from and grab more.
Then we did and individual interview with the panel where they asked what game system I would recommend for a 4 year old boy. I answer 3DS which was new at the time and they LOVED my answer because it's portable, has lots of games and makes them lots of money when they sell it.
They called me back a couple days later and I was hired.
Interview Questions
Halfway through, they come and "recall" one color of block and you're forced to start over.
Negotiation Details
No.

The interview consisted of a Group/Panel Interview, a Personality Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed May 2012 in Dedham, MA (took 5 days)
it was terrible, dedham is a fairly good area and the buses i have to take go thru bad necks of the woods , so all i asked was for the earliest hours possible and the dude was like "u really wrote u want early hours?" and i asked for no weekends because i have religious practices and they didnt hire me just because of that.
i think this is just stupid, if u dont learn how to cashier correctly and quickly, ur fired! show up 10 seconds late, ur fired, take that smile off your face for 1 single second, YOUR FIREDDDDDDDDD.
i didnt want to work there after that, and the dude had a drill sargent voice, he was in the army for 30 years, it really kind of annoyed me because i felt like i was under alot of pressure, and i dont mind companies holding expectations of me, but these were like ridicoulous and i hate to think like they will fire me for simply stretching inside compared to outside for some dumb reason.

Interviewed May 2012 in Wayne, NJ (took 2 weeks)
The HR dept contacted me within hours of submitting my application on-line. I had a brief phone screener with a HR rep that consisted of some very basic questions about my interest in the job, the company, and my background. About a week later, they called me back to set up a phone interview with the hiring manager. That conversation lasted about 30 minutes, but the actual interview only lasted about 15 minutes. The rest was me asking her questions about the department, the company, etc. The interview itself wasn't hard, but I definitely didn't have very good chemistry with the hiring manager.

Interviewed May 2010 in Houston, TX (took a day)
I filled out the application and then I was called in for an interview. I arrived and there were others there, about 5 or 6. Everyone was really nice though. We were asked how we would sell a toy to a customer and actually had to get up in front of the group and do it. There was a table with toys on it and you simply picked one and sold it to the group. It's not as bad as it might sound. It was fun! Then, the interviewer told a certain group to leave and the ones left were hired.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Wayne, NJ (took 3 weeks)
First I briefly had a phone screen with the TRU recruiter. Then I met with various managers at the HQ. Everyone seemed very down to earth, even upper management. Persons working there seemed happy but when I went to their Distribution Center I can tell they might be over worked.
