I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Build-A-Bear in Sep 2012
Interview
Very detailed interview process involving all major executives. Expect to take a detailed on line assessment which is scrutinized by a corporate psychologist. They take the assessment VERY seriously, and while they may not admit it, it is a pass fail process. A balance of drive for results and a soft touch with the people skills are expected.
