I applied online. I interviewed at Walgreens (Deerfield, IL) in Feb 2012
Interview
The HR process takea over 3 months. Behaviorial style interviews. 3 standard rounds of interviews. "Tell me about a time...". There is alot of time between communication with HR and the hiring manager making it hard to judge if there is any interest. The system showing applicants makes it very hard for good candidates to get noticed and pre screening isn't done well as alot of non qualified individuals fall through the cracks.
