I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ralph Lauren in Feb 2016
Interview
It was a Skype interview. You kind of interview for all of the internship positions, which I was not expecting. I actually didn't apply for a position, I got the interview through a career fair so was contacted to interview, so I went in a little blindly. I expressed interest in a certain type of internship (buying I think) but was told that you were placed wherever THEY saw you fit, which I didn't really like.
The lady interviewing me was kinda dull.. just asked your very standard interview questions. I was just expecting someone more peppy and interested like the recruiter I had met, and so I think I just didn't vibe with this lady.

Online Interview in Dec 5-6 basic qs about the role/internship, Recruiter screening 15mins , then a manager interview with your selected team by HR 30mins in March. Took 3 weeks to hear back.
Basic questions
Why do you want to work for Ralph Lauren?
How can you contribute to the team?
Why do you want to apply for this program?
What do you want to get from RL?
The interview level I got to was online. I would have liked to talk to a real person but I guess that is what happens if the online interview goes well. Not quite sure how they rate it though.
