I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2013
Interview
Nice, clean, simple, stylish environment. Pleasant reception and people. Offered me coffee, restroom use, etc. upon arrival. Easy parking and commute. Well organized interview schedule. Provided all names, titles. All interviewers were prompt, professional, knowledgeable and well spoken. Each began and ended on time. Pleasant experience. Firm handshake. Only one mid-level manager wasn't real warm (didn't smile much)

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (Dallas-Fort Worth) in Oct 2024
Interview
It is through a prime vendor. The Hiring Manager is a VP (Supply chain, omnichannel, etc) who is not in a great mood and is unwilling to listen to me, even with the first answer. His anger issues rubbed off on me, and I felt intimidated. I'm not sure how he became a VP. Not sure if he is having a bad day. Please don't lower the confidence of the job seekers by behaving aggressively in interviews.
