It was a group interview with about 40 people in one session. They introduced themselves and then we were divided into groups for role-playing a situation. We used our phones to answer questions, playing a game similar to Kahoot.

Behavioral
I interviewed at the location. It was a pretty casual process. They said they'd email me within two weeks about how I did. I heard nothing until a few months later when they asked me to fill out a survey about the interview. I mentioned I hadn't received any updates, and then I got my rejection email that same day.

The interview was conducted online in multiple stages and involved a group interview. We had to do some minor group work and then present to the interviewer. It wasn't too difficult. After getting the job offer, there was a group introduction at the store.
