I applied online. I interviewed at Staples (Framingham, MA) in Aug 2018
Interview
Staples has the worst interview process. Hiring Managers do not have any idea what they are looking for. The position for which I interviewed was having different responsibilities in the job role and hiring manager comes up with different responsibilities on phone. Hiring manager was in hurry and wanted to finish 30 minutes interview in 10 minutes. Without asking about my expertise she decided to move ahead and rejected me.
Phone calls with 2 different people, a recruiter and then one with someone from the team; both people were polite and well informed; didn't hear back after the second phone call

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Staples in Mar 2024
Interview
Worse interview ever. The recruiter reached out and went back and forth took 10 days to set up an interview. I had to reach out 3 times to do that. Even in the interview the recruiter was very rude and showed no interest in listening to what I said. don't waste people's time.
I interviewed for a Business Analyst position, and knew shortly after the interview started that I was not the right candidate for the position. The hiring manager was smart and she let know of it on the first few minutes of our conversation. Thereafter I was just going through the motions as I knew I was not goin got fit in with her and her idea of the right candidate. I wished her all the best and hope she found this candidate.
