I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at JCPenney (Bengaluru) in Oct 2016
Interview
There was an initial telephonic discussion,
followed by a couple of f2f discussions with Eng & leadership.
Followed by a couple of Telephonic discussions from Plano office.
The interview was average, much of the focus was on very high-level questions.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at JCPenney in Nov 2019
Interview
The interview was over the phone with one of their engineers, the questions were related to Spring, web security and some java fundamentals. The dude threw some random vague questions with open ended answers, and was looking for key words, which something I didn't like, I kept ask him for more clarifications and collaborations, but it seems like he was go by the book person, 30 minutes of questions, but didn't feel he was trying to get the best out of me, he was just trying to prove that he knew thing that I didn't know. anyway, I didn't get a good vibe from the interview or the environment he belongs to.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at JCPenney (Bengaluru) in Oct 2019
Interview
Interview is not difficult but process is lengthy and unnessary couple of behavioural discusiions which took couple of days extra and doesnt make much sense. I believe they can trim or look back at their interivew process which can be more towards techincal and one behavioual round if needed.
