I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Patagonia (Palo Alto, CA) in Dec 2023
Interview
Very impersonal interview process, starting with an video response questions as a screening. I thought the instructions were pretty unclear and I appreciate a more personal call as opposed to essentially performing on camera to send to the hiring team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A customer is having trouble with equipment that they bought and are looking to replace or refund the item. How would you handle the interaction?
The interview consisted of two virtual interview conducted by store managers at other locations, and a phone interview by a local manager. The interviewers were friendly and the actual interviews were straight-forward, but the scheduling over the course of this process was a bit chaotic.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to work together with colleagues to solve a problem.
2 rounds of interviews, organized, streamlined, and great questions. They emphasize the importance of environmental philanthropy. Both rounds of interviews were behavioral, and included a mix of specifics and broad personality questions. Both interviewers were friendly and seemed genuinely interested in and engaged with what I had to say.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Patagonia (Ventura, CA) in Apr 2025
Interview
Two interviews, one group, one individual. Questions are very personable and interesting. Felt supported and non-judged. Best to showcase yourself and your personality and how you'd contribute to the team
