It was a pretty easy conversation. They asked basic questions and seemed to care about getting to know you as a person just as much as your professional experience. They want to know what makes you interested in RH specifically and what unique assets you have to help the team as a whole.

Behavioral Technical

Went through a bunch of interviews for a Design Consultant role, but ended up being offered a different role. I then had to go through another set of interviews. They gave me times and dates for updates multiple times but I always had to chase them to get a response. It felt disrespectful that it took over 3 months for an entry-level position and I still got denied.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

This role's interview process heavily emphasized the company's core values. There were five stages in total. I experienced a significant delay in hearing back, spanning several months. It felt like this position might lean more towards retail operations rather than core design responsibilities.

  • Could you tell me about your greatest weakness?
