I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Macy's
Interview
Submission of resume on the school career site lead to a campus interview with a VP and a buyer. After chosen for an onsite interview, I had to complete 1 online retail math test and personality test
2 day onsite interview
Day 1: Tour of the Macys.com building and introduction to the head of the Executive Development Program, lunch with current EDP's
Day 2: Group case interview: you are put in a group of 5 other people to solve a possible scenario. Information is given on the day of and you have 30 or 40 minutes to discuss with your members on how to solve the issue. There are two managers who observe you and your team to see how you work as a team member. After the 30-40 mins, you have to present your solution to the managers and answer their questions
1 interview with a VP: basic behavioral questions like "Tell me about a time you had to motivate someone", "Tell me about a time you had to compete with someone, what was the outcome, and what did you learn"
1 interview with a HR manager: A lot of ethical questions, and personal questions like "how to you manage to have a work life balance, tell me what you do to achieve that"
Lastly, there is a retail math test. They give you a simple calculator, the equations and you have 1 hour to complete the questions. 1 hour is more than enough time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me what you would do to improve customer loyalty to Macys.com
The interview process was lengthy but very conversational. I think there were 3-5 rounds. There was also a technical interview for your specific function that you took online in a closed browser.
It was easy. Just be yourself and don’t overthink it. First was a 15 min screening call over the phone. Then a 45 min zoom call with another individual. Questions related to past experience and how you deal with certain situations.
There were 3 rounds. The first is just an hr screening. You then have to take 2 exams for the second round. After the exams there is one final round. The process was very straightforward.
