I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Macy's (Miami, FL) in Mar 2016
Interview
Very Comprehensive Interview Process.
Began with a personality indicator/basic aptitude online test. Shortly afterwards, I received a phone call/interview and was promptly referred for a followup interview via video chat with a recruiting director. After that interview, I was contacted by a store manager for a 3rd interview via phone. In all it was about a 2 month process. After that interview, I was invited to participate in their on-site interview day. For 24 hours, they looked at the candidates ability to integrate with the company, work as a team and given two opportunities for the candidates to demonstrate their leadership philosophy. There was a comprehensive Q&A with several senior Macy's Executives.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe an example where you had to lead a person who subsequently did not meet expectations. How did you counsel them and ultimately let them go?
The interview process was lengthy but very conversational. I think there were 3-5 rounds. There was also a technical interview for your specific function that you took online in a closed browser.
It was easy. Just be yourself and don’t overthink it. First was a 15 min screening call over the phone. Then a 45 min zoom call with another individual. Questions related to past experience and how you deal with certain situations.
There were 3 rounds. The first is just an hr screening. You then have to take 2 exams for the second round. After the exams there is one final round. The process was very straightforward.
