I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at JCPenney
Interview
I was connected to a recruiter from a friend of mine who worked for JCP already. The recruiter contacted me for the generalist position and I met with one of the hiring managers for lunch. A week later I came back for 3 additional onsite interviews. While onsite I was given a tour and walked through the new vision and structure of the company in detail which was extremely helpful. Also during the course of the interview process I was invited to the investor site to watch the videos on the new vision of the company. A week after my final interview with the company I was made an offer of employment with one of the teams I interviewed with. I have to say that the culture and excitement of this company is contagious. It feels very “apple” like in company culture and made my interview experience an excellent one.
