The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Abercrombie & Fitch (Novi, MI) in Jun 2011
Interview
I applied in-store and they automatically offered me an opportunity to book a group interview for me at the end of the application. i got there a good 10 minutes early and was the first one there. There were two other people that showed up less early or just on time, sadly the actual manager was almost 45 minutes late because of "traffic" that I mysteriously didn't encounter. We walked to the food court (the store is in a mall) and they asked me questions revolving around leadership and diversity. Nothing too crazy, it lasted about 25 minutes to interview us 3.
Here's the best part, at the end she asked how old I was and when I responded 17 she informed me that they didn't hire under 18. Corporate policy. That would have been nice to know before I wasted over an hour with the interview. Driving included, it was a waste of an hour and 45 minutes. My advice for anyone applying here is to be 18+ and have prepared answers about what diversity "means" to you.
Group interview of around ten or so people, quick twenty minutes of general questions (why do you want to work there, what are your strengths/weaknesses), usually with store or assistant manager. Offer via phone call within a week.

Interview
I applied online and then I received a call back asking to come in for a group interview. The group interviews were held outside the store. There were about 6 of us in one group. We went around the circle answering questions.
