The questions were easy and I got hired right away. I was asked only a few questions and it took less than 15 mins to complete the interview. Management was nice too.

Interview
To even begin consideration for a job at Macy's you have to apply online for an open position that is available. During the application there is a prerequisite questionnaire that will gauge your interest and capabilities for the job you're applying for. The rest of the application is pretty much routine, experience, references (depending on the position you'r applying for), a long list of EEOC questions, providing and email address, etc. If you meet what they are looking for, either a computer or a person at their HR headquarters will OK you to the next process which is scheduling an interview.
To schedule your appointment you have to go through a link that is emailed to you once you are considered eligible for the position. All of this is through their website, which will show you a number of upcoming dates that are open for interviews. On each of those dates there are specific times from which you can choose from, depending on manager availability and/or previously scheduled interviews. After you scheduled your appointment the website will give you specific instructions on how to get to their HR offices within the store you are applying for, the same information will be emailed to you.
The Interview process is pretty much standard across the board, a manager for the area you applied for is called to interview you, usually it's someone that is on call at the time.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Macy's (Holyoke, MA) in Nov 2017
Interview
I initially applied online through a job search engine and after about a week passed I received an email that I had been selected to come in to the store for an interview. I had to schedule the interview online, which was very easy and simple to do. The woman who interviewed me was very friendly and inviting. She definitely wanted to ensure that I felt comfortable and attempt at minimizing any pressure I was feeling at the time. She asked me a series of straight-forward questions, leading to her hiring me on the spot. She left the room for a moment to see what part-time positions she had available and then came back to inform me that I would be working as a Seasonal Support Associate in the Women's Shoe Department.
