Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 2 meses. Fui entrevistado pela The Container Store em abr. de 2012
Entrevista
My first interview was a phone interview with one of the general managers. The interview was about a half hour long and the questions were based on my experience. The manager also shared some information with me about the company and their views. I then did a 1:1 interview with the general manager of another local store. The interviewer asked questions that would assess my ability to fit in to their company culture, which is quite unique. I did extensive online research prior to the interview, which was quite helpful. A store manager joined us for some questions. The next interview was with the district manager ("area manager" in Container Store terms) and 2 general managers. Their questions were all directed toward my ability to fit into their company culture.
Every person that I spoke to was very professional and passionate about their company. I enjoyed meeting and talking to each of them.
For anyone who is applying to this company, be prepared for a drawn out interview process. The only negative part of my experience was the length of the process and the time it took for them to get back to me after each step. You will probably need to intiate all follow-up.

Disappointed that after what seemed like promising interviews, one over the phone and one in person, I am not given the courtesy of any feedback. Multiple follow up emails and texts later, still nothing. At least have the decency to say I did not get the job instead of just leaving me hanging.

Entrevista
I was contacted very quickly for an invite to a group interview. There were 6 of us, all good candidates I thought. The interview was very professional, conducted by the General Manager and a store manager. They asked you to watch different segments of a company video, then wanted each candidates input. The only thing that could have been handled better was the GM was very focused on the gal sitting next to me. It was quite obvious he was zeroing in on her - which, I can't fault him, she was cute, young and had good answers. Just wish he wasn't so obvious. Be prepared to work all shifts and all jobs and LOVE doing it. Also you will be working in other stores in the area.

Instead of asking "tell me about yourself", they asked "what brought you to the Container Store?" The rest of the questions were pretty general.
