I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Columbia Sportswear (Riverhead, NY) in Aug 2015
Interview
The whole process is very simple. I applied online and after about two months they replied back to me. After that, we set up an interview time. At the interview, they asked basic behavioral questions. The whole interview did not last very long, maybe about 15 minutes. The manager probably talked alot more than I did. They just wanted to see enthusiasm from you.
