I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
The interview process comprised of two phone interviews followed by an onsite. Roughly 6 weeks elapsed between each both segments - the HR dept is lacking and uses temps (warning). The onsite was conducted by the direct supervisor, another member on the same brand, and a finally a manager if they can find one.. the manager that interviewed me wasn't even apart of my team
