I applied online. I interviewed at REI (Santa Fe, NM) in Jan 2021
Interview
The interview process was unique due to covid. There was a 3 question video interview process followed by a video chat with some of the managers. I logged on 10 minutes early, as if I were showing up to an interview early and awaited a connection with the managers to begin the interview. After about 20 min after my interview was supposed to begin, it still hadn't, so I called the store, only to find out that the interview had just fallen through the cracks and they forgot about it, one manager who I spoke with over the phone wasn't even aware if the interview, even though I could see he was attached to the email outlining the start time and details. I was pretty disappointed to find that out and found it pretty unprofessional and disorganized.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
talk about a time that made you uncomfortable at work and how did you deal with it?
Group interviews were friendly and well managed. Staff were kind and understanding. Good and thoughtful interview process. I appreciate the relaxed atmosphere at the store and when speaking with the interviewers.
The interview process was simple and over the phone. Then I went in person. She was very nice, but the store manager was a bit off. Ultimately, it just wasn't a good fit.
Submitted resume online then they wanted me to do a really stupid video interview where I answer questions from a prompt and video record myself giving answers. Just schedule a normal interview you idiots.
