Everyone is very nice and open to answering questions. It took only a day or two for them to get back to me. I had two interviews before getting an offer. Overall, this was a fantastic process and and I very pleased with how everything went.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bergdorf Goodman (New York, NY)
