I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Ross Stores (New York, NY) in Feb 2018
Interview
I had a phone interview after speaking with recruiters at my college campus. The phone interview was very easy and I received an email not too long after asking for an interview in the New York Buying Office. In New York, there were four separate interviews, two with buyers and two with planners. A lot of behavioral questions. The interviews were fairly easy and all the employees were very nice. Some interviewers were more difficult than others.

They are in the business of ghosting people, even after going through 3 rounds of interviews that all went well according to them. Vague, and very misleading throughout the “interview” process.
