Group interviews were friendly and well managed. Staff were kind and understanding. Good and thoughtful interview process. I appreciate the relaxed atmosphere at the store and when speaking with the interviewers.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at REI (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2017
Interview
Large hiring event (~200 people), during which I was interviewed for 5 minutes, followed by a small group interview, where my ability to work as part of a team was assessed. Hiring managers were extremely pleasant to work with, and made the process enjoyable.
The interview process was simple and over the phone. Then I went in person. She was very nice, but the store manager was a bit off. Ultimately, it just wasn't a good fit.
Submitted resume online then they wanted me to do a really stupid video interview where I answer questions from a prompt and video record myself giving answers. Just schedule a normal interview you idiots.
