      Assistant Merchandising Manager Interview

      Anonymous employee

      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at DSW

      Interview

      I applied online and the next day received an invitation for the online assessment and questionnaire. The day after completing and submitting the assessment I received an invite for an in person interview. The interview was very personable and they made me feel so comfortable. About an hour after I left they asked me to do a second interview the very next day with another store manager and I was happy to accept. I was asked that afternoon to do a last interview with the District Manager over the phone. All interviews were so informative and comfortable and they followed up with me so quickly after each part of the process. The same day as my interview with the District Manager I was offered the position. If you are like me, you are reading all the reviews about the company on glassdoor. I did the same and found a lot of people saying that the company was unorganized and the follow up was terrible and honestly I almost let it scared me away from wanting to interview. I am so thankful that it didn't because I had nothing but a totally positive experience and I hope you don't let the negative reviews keep you from having an open mind and interviewing with the company.

      Why DSW? What are my strengths/opportunities? Why do I feel that I am different from any other candidates?

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DSW (Austin, TX)

      Interview

      Initially called/emailed from store manager to set up a phone interview. After phone interview, I met with store manager and assistant manager and interviewed with them. After that, I needed 'approval' from another store manager, so I interviewed at a totally different DSW store with their store manager. After this, I then interviewed with the District Manager to get the final approval for the job. This process took about 3 weeks from start to finish.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Not too many difficult or technical questions. All interviews were to make sure you displayed all company values; passion, humility, collaboration, and accountability.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DSW (New York, NY) in Apr 2016

      Interview

      Went really smooth. 4 round interview process currently in the 2nd round. I previously worked for the company so I don't know if that helped or not. But I applied and got a call back literally the same day I finished the application. It was more like a conversation than an interview, then got called for another one for the same day and time, just the next week.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How would you handle a situation if two employees were having trouble working with each other.
