I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Sand City, CA) in Mar 2014
Interview
Very Straight forward and informative. All tension beforehand was eased upon starting the interview. very casual atmosphere. There were no trick questions or stereotypical " Where do you see yourself in 5 years?'' questions

Question 1
What strikes Costco apart from other wholesale companies?
I had 2 rounds of interviews with 3 managers. Only took about 1 hour per each one. Asked basic questions on why I would want the job. And how to handle the job.
It was very straight forward. I ended up getting the job. The interviewer was really nice, and it was a smooth hiring process. I have been working here a long time now, and I love it.
