I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at J. Crew in May 2018
Interview
Came for interview 3 times, 8 hours total.
Notified 2 1/2 months later I was no longer considered for position. Complete waste of time and not very professional considering how much time was put into the process.
They reached out to me via LinkedIn and scheduled a zoom interview. I met with their head of recruitment for an opportunity to be part of their hybrid design team.
Asked to do project and multi-step interview. Last interview: interviewer was late, unprepared, condescending towards my current job, and spoke poorly about an existing employee who would be on my team if I had joined. Incredibly put off and I withdrew my application.
