I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Giorgio Armani (New York, NY) in Mar 2014
Interview
All interviews were via Skype. They were not more than an hour. They were very low stress but not easy. I went through 3 rounds with corporate and they flew me to corporate offices in Manhattan for final interview with head of HR and all of upper management and had a face to face intro with CEO at the time.
