I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PetSmart in Jul 2011
Interview
Thought position was a perfect match and that the interview went well, but did not get an offer. Interview consisted of 1 phone with recruiter, 1 phone with hiring manager, then had an on site interview with 5 people. After requesting feedback, they said it was due to inexperience and I should have known based on the questions they were asking. Interview was quite easy as it related to what I do currently and what the position entails. The most difficult was the behavioral questions that only one of the five interviewers asked. I was mistakenly not prepared for this as it was my first interview in over two years.

The process was a series of Phone calls with HR then the hiring manager then HR again. It was an Overall positive and organized experience. I’d recommend interviewing with them to see if you’re a good fit.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at PetSmart
Interview
I was an alternate candidate. It was a really really short interview, 15 mins if that. They said they'd be in touch if they decided to move forward. The interviewer was really nice, overall pleasant experience with Petsmart.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PetSmart (Phoenix, AZ)
Interview
Standard process for corporate HQ. Interview included several employees from different teams, as I'd expect. I describe the hiring manager as a salty Philip Seymour Hoffman character. Upon entering the room, before he'd even approached me and shaken my hand, he let out a grumpy sigh, staring at the floor and rarely made eye contact. He did not have a copy of my resume. When I offered mine, he took one look at saw "digital marketing" on my resume and made up his mind that I was not who he was looking for, with no further inquiry about my other relevant marketing skills. This was all within 20 seconds of entering the room. He then began to make negative comments about the recently departed CEO/President and about his former employer. Although my fit for candidacy was acknowledged by the corporate recruiter, this hiring manager's indecency and unprofessionalism did not offer me the same.
