I applied online. I interviewed at The Container Store (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
I submitted my application and was called within a few days for a brief chat and a group interview. I was told that there was a "homework assignment": to choose an area of my home with an organization challenge and bring in a picture of a Container Store item that I could use to solve the problem. At the group interview the manager explained a bit about what it is like to work there and then showed some videos about their Foundation Principles. After each video she asked what we thought and it was a little awkward because sometimes we all tried to respond simultaneously and it was hard to make sure that I spoke up without talking too much and/or repeating things that other people said, but we just did our best. After the videos we shared our "homework" and then were asked to fill out forms showing our availability. The next day I received an email requesting a background check and a few days later was called to come in for a one-on-one interview. In that interview, they confirmed my availability, then asked me to tell them about myself. Then they asked more about my availability and asked if I had any questions. This interview was very brief.

Applie online. Received an email a month later to schedule date and time for phone interview. Phone interview was pretty easy regular interview questions. After the interview I was invited to a group interview. Group interview was all videos and then questions about videos. I was 10 min late at group interview and missed first video. After the group interview I wasn't expecting second interview but I recieved an email for second one on one interview. Interview was with the same manager who did phone interview and group interview. They showed me around the store and stock room explain the kind of work I might do and ask if I was willing to do it. They ask for background check and after that drug test.
