I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at JCPenney (Bengaluru) in May 2017
Interview
First I gave technical telephonic interview, then in-house technical written followed by face to face technical and then director round.
Low level tech questions and they aim to create website like flipkart.. guess it will become flopkart . Director was very rude and full of negativity. Even though I gave answer to all his primary level questions he was behaving like a bad PT teacher we have in our school. Really unprofessional and cheap.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at JCPenney in Nov 2019
Interview
The interview was over the phone with one of their engineers, the questions were related to Spring, web security and some java fundamentals. The dude threw some random vague questions with open ended answers, and was looking for key words, which something I didn't like, I kept ask him for more clarifications and collaborations, but it seems like he was go by the book person, 30 minutes of questions, but didn't feel he was trying to get the best out of me, he was just trying to prove that he knew thing that I didn't know. anyway, I didn't get a good vibe from the interview or the environment he belongs to.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at JCPenney (Bengaluru) in Oct 2019
Interview
Interview is not difficult but process is lengthy and unnessary couple of behavioural discusiions which took couple of days extra and doesnt make much sense. I believe they can trim or look back at their interivew process which can be more towards techincal and one behavioual round if needed.
