I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Macy's (New York, NY) in Oct 2015
Interview
I applied through employee referral. Received an email from HR asking to have a 30-minute phone conversation. During that phone conversation, the interviewer told me that I would be scheduled for an hour long skype interview with two people (one HR Manager and one Brand Manager) two weeks later. During my interview with the HR Manager, she asked when I would be available to come on-site in New York for an interview day. Went on-site about a month later, in late October. It was a one day process with two tests, a group case study and presentation, team building exercise, two interviews, and a panelist of current EDP trainees.

Question 1
What do you notice when you walk into your local Macy's?
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.
