I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (Oklahoma City, OK) in Jun 2016
Interview
It was pretty easy. Three days after applying, I received an email invitation to interview. I called them back and they set me up with an interview that same day at 6pm. Interviewers were behind on their appointments so I waited 30 minutes before being called into the interview room. After the interview, HR offered me a position and I accepted. I completed the paperwork, took a picture for a badge, and was told to come to training the following week.
Recorded videos of yourself no face to face interview. Multiple questions based on experiences. Very easy interview and less nerve-wrecking. It was maybe about 10 questions or so and you get 2 minutes prep time.

Interview
1st interview never happened ( I was given a time slot for when the recruiter was to call me for my interview, but it they never called or emailed) I then resubmitted and was able to get another time slot. This time I did get a call and was asked to do a mock scenario. Never asked any questions it was fairly easy total phone time was about 8 minutes. Then I was told that I would get a call from a manager with 3-4 business days with an answer. I was lucky to get one the next day and was hired.
