I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2012
Interview
The interview process can be long and drawn out. It took me over a month from my initial contact with the company to get my offer. The interview was very stress free. Mostly situational questions to gauge ones values. Cannot stress enough the importance of the company clvalues during the interview process.
I had a great experience with good communication and straight forward process. Everyone was very professional and I have no complaints about the process. I would love to interview again in the future.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Nordstrom in Dec 2025
Interview
Straight forward, everything was handled quickly and professionally. At the time there was no use of AI so it felt very genuine and human driven. No complaints I would definitely look to apply again.
It was online and it was well scheduled and managed. Expectation was there and manager was very polite and informing. I really enjoyed what they had to offer but decided to go another route.
