I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Container Store
Interview
Got called in for a group interview that didn't turn out to be a group interview due to some "glitches" they had with their new hiring system. So it turned out to be a 1 on 1 with NO videos being shown. Interview had standard questions. I was then told that I would be discussed with the sales manager. 35 minutes later, I got a call and an email asking me to come back the next day for a 2nd interview with said sales manager. Both days, I left my full time job early.
I met with the sales manager. Asked me if I had seen the video, which I told her no. Then asked me to fill out an availability form. Interview and discussions ensued. Everything went well and I was told I'd be notified at the end of the week.
Monday I sent an email asking what the status was, and 20 mins later I get a typical generated denial email saying that "I wasn't a right fit" and "better candidates" etc etc. I replied and asked for a better explanation to which I got yet another generated response.
It was very misleading and a complete waste of my time. I don't know exactly what this company is looking for but I'm apparently "not a right fit", whatever that means.
Begins with a group interview sitting in a circle where you start to learn a little about the character of the company. Creative answers and outside the box thinking are encouraged.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at The Container Store (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2019
Interview
Applied online. Next day get a phone call to come in for open interviews the next day. Come in and 2 people interview me. After the 2nd, I was told to wait for a phone call. That generally means you did not get the job. Apparently you have to meet with all the managers and get approval from all of them. Seeing as one sent me out, I guess it was a no.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Container Store (New York, NY) in Jul 2018
Interview
I applied in the beginning of July 2018. Two days later, I received an email for a phone interview. After the phone interview session, I was invited to go to the store and speak with one of the managers. After speaking with the manager, a week later, I found out that I was offered the position and was given a start date based on my schedule at the time.
