I applied through university. I interviewed at Gap Inc. (New York, NY)
Interview
First round was a conversational behavioral interview. Second round was a project where you have to create a new brand for Gap Inc. (also described in other reviews here). The project takes hours upon hours to create, yet I did not receive any feedback with my rejection. It was simply a generic rejection email. However, I am not surprised I was rejected given my interviewer did not engage in a conversation with me about my work at all. She simply asked questions from the interview guide given verbatim and every response I gave was met with "ok." Not impressed at all with the company or process based on my experiences. If you are going to make applicants engage in such a time consuming project, feedback should at least be offered as an option for rejected applicants. Only complete the project if you accept the idea that you may be rejected with no reason as to why.
Many rounds of interviews and case. The case was exciting but the final interview day was hardest. Make sure you're able to defend your ideas and have a lot of knowledge and opinions on the fashion industry ready to discuss.
First round was standard behavioral and background questions, although they read from a list the whole time and didn't care much about who you are. The project round, spent 30-40 hours on my project, only had a week to do it, and they rejected me with no reasoning why. Waste of time and clearly don't value the people who invest time into their interview process.
Super intense interview process with a behavioral test, project, and trend questions. I made it to the project-based interview and thought I nailed it, however, I received an informal rejection email a couple weeks later. Overall, it was a gruesome process and extremely stressful.
