I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Toys "R" Us (Wayne, NJ) in Jul 2012
Interview
I first talked to HR over the phone for a simple interview review my background. I then met with two individuals offsite to go through a quick interview. Afterwards, I was recommended for a third interview with Senior Management. This was a very basic three person panel. Asked about prior experience and your typical leadership and fit questions. Nothing out of the ordinary
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a time you had to work with a difficult co-worker?
It was quick but I also didn't get the job. I made it to the 2nd round but not further. Had a short video interview but ultimately wasn't a connection.
It went great. Very professional and understanding of the answers that I gave. They were very through with there questions and made sure that I understood before giving my response. I would recommend this company to someone looking for a job within the retail industry.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Toys "R" Us (Wayne, NJ)
Interview
Many rounds of interviews over the course of 3 months. Including 3 rounds with the same person, which I have never experienced before. The folks who interviewed me were all my future supervisors - no peer interviews, which is also highly unusual. One of the interviewers had resigned the company before my interview process was over.
