      Business Analyst Interview

      May 3, 2013
      Anonymous employee
      Plano, TX
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at JCPenney (Plano, TX) in Apr 2013

      Interview

      I was contacted by a recruiter via Linkedin. She set up a phone interview that took 30 minutes in which she asked me screening questions about planning & allocation and retail math. After that, she set up an interview at the headquarters. I was flown out on a Monday night, picked up by a limo service, then taken to a nice hotel. In the morning I took the shuttle from the hotel to the HQ and met the recruiter. I was actually interviewed by 4 different people - one HR director and 3 hiring managers. The HR director asked me various behavioral questions. The 3 hiring managers also asked me behavioral questions, as well as technical questions and employment history.

      Interview

      The interview process was standard 2-4 week process from screening interview to the final offer. Only 2 interviews, screening then interview with hiring manager. Standard questions for both. Both interviewers made me feel very welcomed and comfortable. I also received genuine feedback after the interview with the hiring manager.

      Anonymous employee

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at JCPenney (Dallas, TX)

      Interview

      It took a really long time for them to get back to me after applying, months, I believe. However, from there on, they were good at communicating with me. They flew me to Dallas and booked me a hotel for the interview. Had a panel interview and gave a case study presentation to a group of employees.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at JCPenney in Sep 2019

      Interview

      The interview process was very smooth! The panel interview was very conversational rather than strict question/answer. Everybody seemed very knowledgeable as to what is expected from this candidate and didn't drift directions asking other things that weren't really connected to the role.

      Question 1

      Describe a time where you've made a mistake and how did you handle it?
