I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at J. Crew (New York, NY) in Jun 2018
Interview
The interview was roughly 2 hours long. You meet with the recruiter first to go over any questions you might have, then 4 to 5 people would come in one after another to ask you a couple of questions, almost like speed dating. After your recruiter will come to get you and walk you out.
