Very laid back. More like a conversation and get to know, than a drilling interview. Depends on what department you are in, but most directors and managers will take a chance on you if you express interest but have little experience.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at GameStop (Spring, TX) in Oct 2010
