The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Ross Stores
Interview
They take FOREVER in the interview process. They might have you meet with a team one person per interview (don't know why they can't schedule in one day and not waste your time) and drag it on for a month to two months and they might have you meet with other teams and drag it out even further. I did not feel their HR person was very professional at all. They do not provide timely feedback as to where they are in the hiring process, and you have to reach out if you are curious - they don't give updates on their own.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They ask questions related to the position you are applying for and want to know if you have off-price experience.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your negative experience for a Buyer position. We want candidates to feel like their time is being valued, but we also have to go through the proper steps to make sure candidates are the right fit for the role and the organization, which can sometimes take a while. Your feedback will be sent to the appropriate HR teams.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ross Stores in May 2022
Interview
They are in the business of ghosting people, even after going through 3 rounds of interviews that all went well according to them. Vague, and very misleading throughout the “interview” process.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Ross Stores in Dec 2020
Interview
Very long and intense. Asked a lot of questions about my connections, especially any connections in the wholesale business. Also why I want to be in Manhattan. Asked me to give an example of Excel functions that you know and when you would use them.

I applied through university. I interviewed at Ross Stores (New York, NY) in Feb 2018
Interview
I had a phone interview after speaking with recruiters at my college campus. The phone interview was very easy and I received an email not too long after asking for an interview in the New York Buying Office. In New York, there were four separate interviews, two with buyers and two with planners. A lot of behavioral questions. The interviews were fairly easy and all the employees were very nice. Some interviewers were more difficult than others.
