Interview

I was contacted by email at first. Then, there was a fairly lengthy game of phone tag with an HR coordinator to schedule a phone interview with another HR specialist, presumably a recruiter. After the call was scheduled, there was some more rescheduling necessary due to the holidays. Eventually, the recruiter called and we had a very pleasant chat, after which the recruiter suggests that my ext step would be to talk to the hiring manager/creative director. That never happened.

Was asked generic behavioral questions, about my college education and courses, and relevant experience in Computer Science. Interviewer was professional and fairly courteous. Was told at the interview that they would notify me in a 3 or so weeks if I was to make it to the second round interview with the hiring manager. In roughly 2 weeks, I received an email in which they denied me for the internship.

Interview

The interview process was long and painful because there were so many applicants for the internally posted position. Between each segment of the interview process there were long waits with no communication and I found that to be frustrating. The panel that interviewed me for the position were very intimidating. After the last interview I waited for three weeks before hearing anything about the position.

Long and arduous, be committed to staying in contact with your hiring manager. Oftentimes, I was left days and weeks without knowing where we were in the process. Be prepared to talk about non-professional things during your panel interviews.

The process took 1 day. I interviewed at L.L. Bean (Dedham, MA) in June 2009.

Interview

The interview took place at a hotel, as the store had not yet opened. I spoke with one woman, who was nice, but I think I was thrown off guard a little bit by her questions. They were typical, I suppose, but I've usually been offered jobs without long interviews. She asked things like "why would you be good for this job?" and "when was a time you set a goal and reached it?"
