The interviews were an easy process with multiple 30 minute calls scheduled with different members of the team you'd be interning for. They were super well-organized and easy to follow as they sent a schedule detailing the time, people, and the link to join the video call. Everyone was super nice and made it feel more like a conversation with friends than a formal interview.

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DSW (Columbus, OH)
Interview
I was interviewed by several people. I found the process to be very unprofessional. The first interviewer came in 5 minutes late and continued to talk on her cell phone (a personal call) in front of me for 5 more minutes. The second interviewer asked me who I was when he had a list of scheduled interviews with him and proved to me that he had not even glanced over my resume. I also felt like he was hitting on me. I drove a total of 12 hours for this interview and spent money on a hotel to have this experience. If you want a professional company then I would look elsewhere.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DSW in Aug 2016
Interview
I loved my interview with DSW! The recruiters cared that I had a great experience and they made the process quick and simple. I completed a phone interview and then a few weeks later, I completed a face to face interview.
