Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Gap Inc..
Senior Manager
It was a three-step process. First, I interviewed with a Senior Manager for a technical interview. Then, I had a technical interview with a Staff Engineer. Finally, I had an interview with the Director where we discussed leadership, situational questions, how to develop developers, and decision-making strategy.
- What are your deployment strategies?
- Can you share an example of a risk you took?
- How do you approach developing a developer's career?
Incident Manager
Had a good chat with HR about the job and my experience. We discussed benefits and salary. They said they'd be in touch for the next round. But then I got an email weeks later saying they chose other candidates. I didn't even get to speak with the manager. What a waste of an hour.
- Can you tell me about your background and experience?
- What is your motivation for pursuing incident management?
- Describe how you handle stressful situations.
Manager
I filled out an online application. A few days later, the recruiter reached out to schedule an initial phone screen. About a week after that, the recruiter contacted me again to set up a Zoom interview with the hiring manager. I was told I'd hear back about next steps within the following week. However, I never heard anything back. No follow-up from the recruiter. After waiting two weeks with no word, I decided to move on. It's important to at least be courteous and provide feedback or an update to candidates, even if you're not moving forward. Even if that's not the intention, it creates a negative impression of the company and how employees are treated. I'm surprised by this experience, given Gap's core values and focus on being a people-centric organization.
- Can you share an instance of a mistake you've made?
- Describe a situation where you took the initiative.
