The process had three stages. First, a call with HR. Second, a video call with the same person. Then, an in-person interview at the store with a manager and a director. The experience was very rewarding and ended on a positive note.

I went through several interviews, three in total. One of them was in English. I didn't get immediate feedback. I felt the company was taking its time to decide, even though I understood they had an urgent need.

Had a quick 15-minute first call with the HR Manager. At the end of this chat, she asked if I was okay with my application being passed along to the store for a physical interview. We then set up a meeting at the store two weeks later, where I met with the store manager for a pretty short interview.
