I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Safeway (Pleasanton, CA) in Jul 2010
Interview
One initial interview over the phone with HR, followed up by one interview on-site with three Safeway marketing employees, together. Each employee was assigned different topics to probe. I don't remember the topics, but it was clear that Safeway has a systematic interviewing process that is tied into their core values and job descriptions.
