Interview
I have applied for the fashion buyer position and they contacted me after one week. I had an interview with HR (30 minutes call) and then the second interview with the category manager, which took about 110 minutes, being said that my profile matches the role very well. then I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING FROM THEM, NEVER. I tried to keep the contacts writing e-mails, but no response at all. Totally unprofessional!!!

Interview
The interview process was great from the beginning: HR getting in touch with me, providing feedback of every interview and giving all the information about every part of the process. The interviews were very good, going by the Resume to talk about previous experience and discussing different challenges that the position has. A very friendly environment.
