I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at J. Crew
Interview
First met with the senior designer, then design director. They asked me to do a project - design a collection. They gave me 2.5 weeks to do the project. Presented it to senior designer and design director individually. Took 2.5 weeks for them to get back and say I didn't get the job.
They reached out to me via LinkedIn and scheduled a zoom interview. I met with their head of recruitment for an opportunity to be part of their hybrid design team.
Asked to do project and multi-step interview. Last interview: interviewer was late, unprepared, condescending towards my current job, and spoke poorly about an existing employee who would be on my team if I had joined. Incredibly put off and I withdrew my application.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at J. Crew in May 2018
Interview
Came for interview 3 times, 8 hours total.
Notified 2 1/2 months later I was no longer considered for position. Complete waste of time and not very professional considering how much time was put into the process.
