The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at COS (Los Angeles, CA) in Sep 2015
Interview
An application was filled out on the company's website, fairly standard. A few days later there was a phone interview which was then followed by another phone call to set up an interview in person. the next step is a group interview in which there are some questions and activities performed. Immediately followed by an individual interview where there is more in depth questions about the persons qualifications.

Question 1

The interview process takes... forever. The other interviews I have done for a Sales Associate job took 30 minutes max. I'm pretty sure my Cos interview took over 1.5 hrs.
The interview overall was pretty standard. They made us do a group activity and an individual activity.
