I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Ralph Lauren (High Point, NC) in Feb 2013
Interview
Lengthy and overly complicated by HR red tape. Hiring managers took weeks to see/ interview with due to scheduling. Some interviews took as little as five minutes have weeks of rescheduling and flexibility on my part. Managers seem rushed and disinterested
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Ralph Lauren (New York, NY) in Jan 2016
Interview
The office itself was a bit intimidating, but the woman that interviewed me was so friendly and easy to talk to - we spent half the time on chit chatting and small talk. Very concise and to the point in terms of the roles and responsibilities of the position.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Ralph Lauren (New York, NY) in Nov 2015
Interview
Job interview was thorough and friendly. I met with HR first and then VP of design. I was contacted the next day with offer and letter of acceptance. The process was pretty easy.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Ralph Lauren (New York, NY) in Apr 2015
Interview
Interview process was two months long. Would get emails at 8pm asking if I could come in the following morning at 8am for interviews. Very little information given in job descriptions and job usually nothing like you were told it was going to be. HR Director doesn't shake people's hands.
