I applied through university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Ross Stores (New York, NY) in Apr 2013
Interview
I applied through the campus career website. It took about a month for me to get an interview. Recruiter emailed first asking if I was still interested in the internship, then had a phone interview. After the phone interview with basic questions, why I'm interested in Ross and if I had any questions for her. Required to do a basic "math" test on information that would relate to the business (VERY EASY). She brought me into the office in NYC to meet/interview with who I would later find out would be my boss. Had an interview with the recruiter, then 2 30 minute interviews with the people I would be directly working with. Fairly easy interviews, asking why I was interested if it wasn't my major, describe past work experience, where would you like to be in 5 years. A day after the interview, I was called by the recruiter to see how my interviews went and if I liked the other interviewers. Then there was the background check. After the background check and calling all my references, I was offered the position. Total of 12 days from phone interview to the offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why would I want to intern with Ross? What was biggest accomplishment? Describe a task that you had to work with a group and not everyone wanted to do the same thing.
One day, all day, where you interview with multiple people in different areas and positions. Long day, but worth it to get it all done at once. Definitely enjoyed talking with everyone I spoke to.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ross Stores (New York, NY)
Interview
Virtual super day with managers. I had four or five back to back interviews with managers in the business. The interview was not hard...typical behavioral questions like why ross and describe a time you used excel to manipulate big data.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Ross Stores (New York, NY) in Oct 2020
Interview
The worst interview I have had in my life. It went for 5 hours and 5 different persons from the team kept asking the same behavioral questions. They are a very traditional company that are afraid to take risks and challenges. Would not recommend anyone to go through this process if you’re not 100 percent sure that you want to work for Ross. If you’re a fan of a traditional company, do not have a voice, and likes to stare at an excel screen for 10 hours a day then this job is for you.
