I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Patagonia (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2015
Interview
It was a large group interview at a local brewery. They had us sit on this long table and ask us questions and we would answer one at a time. The people interviewing us were very friendly and outgoing.
There were two group interviews that took place at the store. It was all very informal and friendly. The first interview was done by a floor lead, and the second round was conducted by the store's managers. None of the questions were difficult or unexpected.
It was a casual conversation to get to know me and see how I would fit in with the company culture. It was with the manager and assistant manager and took place at the store I applied for.

Interview
Weirdly cult like with a strong focus on the manager's unused law degree. There was an odd summer camp feel to the entire event with 50 other applicants playing trust building games
