REI interview questions

After applying, making a video, a phone interview, then if you’re lucky, endure an Excruciating long, huge group interview, in the shoe department, sitting for hours on uncomfortable wood benches. Very much a popularity contest, and seasonal hires only cashier. I never heard back from anyone about if I was hired or not, so I called the store directly to ask if I should be there for the training the following day. I was treated like I was the one that didn’t know what was happening and they said I should have received an email stating I was not hired. I didn’t. Not in my junk mail. I know how email works. After two weeks of dealing with corporate at REI, they admitted that they had screwed up and I was never notified about the job. Now when I shop in store, the manager won’t even make eye contact with me.

Standard recruiter call screen, then call lasted about 20 min. This was followed by video interview with the hiring manager for about 30 min. Both were standard interview questions, nothing out of the ordinary.
