I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gap Inc. (South San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2018
Interview
The interview process spanned about a month and consisted of person-fit interviews, as well brand pitches and an on-site case. The first interview was on my college campus and was one-on-one with a recruiter. Next, I had an interview over video where I presented my pitch for a fictional business to add to their portfolio. Finally, I had a series of onsite interviews at their headquarters where I worked on a team case study.

Question 1
They asked that we create a pitch for a new brand to add to the portfolio.
Many rounds of interviews and case. The case was exciting but the final interview day was hardest. Make sure you're able to defend your ideas and have a lot of knowledge and opinions on the fashion industry ready to discuss.
First round was standard behavioral and background questions, although they read from a list the whole time and didn't care much about who you are. The project round, spent 30-40 hours on my project, only had a week to do it, and they rejected me with no reasoning why. Waste of time and clearly don't value the people who invest time into their interview process.
Super intense interview process with a behavioral test, project, and trend questions. I made it to the project-based interview and thought I nailed it, however, I received an informal rejection email a couple weeks later. Overall, it was a gruesome process and extremely stressful.
