There were two group interviews that took place at the store. It was all very informal and friendly. The first interview was done by a floor lead, and the second round was conducted by the store's managers. None of the questions were difficult or unexpected.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Patagonia (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2015
Interview
It was a large group interview at a local brewery. They had us sit on this long table and ask us questions and we would answer one at a time. The people interviewing us were very friendly and outgoing.
It was a casual conversation to get to know me and see how I would fit in with the company culture. It was with the manager and assistant manager and took place at the store I applied for.
