      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomingdale's (New York, NY) in Apr 2018

      Interview

      First interview was over the phone. The interviewer called me 10 minutes late and never apologized for it during the interview. She basically asked me to go through my resume. It took her 4 weeks to get back to me and I had to reach out multiple times to receive my rejection letter.
