      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2014

      Interview

      Received a phone interview about 2 weeks after I applied, followed by an in-person interview where I met with 3 people. Interview questions were simple and straightforward, I think two of them were to make sure we would fit into their culture and can learn and the last person seemed more knowledgeable about the job and made sure we would be a good fit for the job. It was overall pleasant and easy.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me what experience you have in purchasing? What's your ideal work culture? Very general questioins.
