I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Gap in Oct 2022
Interview
It was three rounds in four weeks. The first two were a week apart and the last round happened two weeks after the second round. The first round was a behavioral interview with a short exercise during it. The second round was project based, you had about 5 days to do it because it had to be submitted 2 days before your interview and they did not give you the prompt until exactly 7 days before your interview. The project was intense but easily doable. I took about 10-12 hours doing the project, then after I practiced presenting it. The last round was 2 interviews and then a group activity. I had to complete another project but this one was quicker. The two interviews were a mixed of behavioral questions and questions about both projects. The group activity was them watching how we interacted in a group when creating an idea. I did this entire process virtually. Every interviewer I met was very focused on the interview and getting their notes, but also they had some personality as well. I had a good experience but it was one of my challenging interview processes ever.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gap in Sept 2021
Interview
The interview process includes an 1-hour online assessment (with behavioral and logic/comprehension questions), call with a recruiter, case presentation with another recruiter, and final interview. The video screen with the recruiter includes questions about the recent product/fashion trends as well as behavioral questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Tell me about your background
2. Besides athleisure, tell me 2 other product trends you've seen and the brands that have exhibited those trends
3. Between merchandising and inventory, which are you more interested in and why
Rather an intense interview process with 3 different steps. The first step was informational, the second step was building a unique brand, and the third step was presenting the brand you designed. Didn't make it past the third round.
