It was easy - just a quick phone call with a manager. They got back to me fast after the interview. They asked a bunch of basic questions about me, when I can work, and why I want the job.

I had my interview in the middle of the store, with shoppers all around, which felt a bit like they were judging my answers. The interviewer was really nice and didn't ask too many basic questions. Instead, she told me a lot about Madewell, the company's mission, and the target customer for their clothes. I don't have prior retail experience, and I think my college schedule might have also been a reason I didn't get the job, but I really liked the vibe at Madewell and would have loved to work there.

The interview was pretty laid-back. Started with a phone call, then I went in to meet the manager in person. It was mostly behavioral, not so much about my actual retail work. After I got the offer, the onboarding stuff was a bit messy.
