I had a group interview. Pretty much the most ridiculous, absurd and unprofessional situation I've ever been in. Sitting there listening to bad interviewees answer questions poorly and ramble on for 10 minutes is a complete waste of my time. There were 5 other candidates. We were to introduce ourselves and answer 3 questions. The interview lasted for 3 HOURS. All they did was chit-chat and waste my time, making me miss actual important interviews. Group interviews are incredibly time consuming and completely disrespectful to the potential employee. If you are indeed going to have a group interview, you need to learn how to control the situation properly. There was actually two people who arrived over 30 minutes late to the interview. I wouldn't have let them in if they were 2 minutes late! I have no idea how these people became managers. If you want to sit there and have a discussion about tons of things with a interviewee... that's fine.. do it on your own time! It's not fair to make me sit there through it when i'm just trying to have a normal professional interview. If they had held individual interviews, it would have taken a fraction of the time, and we wouldn't have had to waste our time in the process.

Question 1
One question was: When is a time you had to be very accurate?
Interview process was smooth with expected questions. Felt like a friendly chat which was nice. Questions were mostly around how to work in a fast paced environment and how to approach customers. Finished in 30 minutes.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Luxottica (Amsterdam) in Feb 2025
Interview
It consisted of three phases. Eerst met een andere winkelmanager, daarna met de regiomanager en ten slotte met de winkelmanager. Ze stelden vragen over mijn achtergrond en mijn intenties. Hoe ik ben als teamlid.
I applied online. I interviewed at Luxottica (Whitehall, PA)
Interview
The interview is very standard and easy going. They will inform you about the store, company, job duties, and wage you will get paid. The managers are super nice, if your getting interviewed for this location, I wouldn't worry about it.
