I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Macy's
Interview
Phone screen to start the process. Then went to a regional office to interview one on one. After regional interview, there was a on site full day interview with 15-20 other candidates for positions all over the country. Onsite interview consisted of a half day of one on one interviews with regional managers and half day doing a case study with a group of 5 candidates.

Question 1
The case study was an opportunity to show your teamwork and leadership ability. Interviewers did not care if you had the correct numbers because you will learn them in training. They wanted to see how you interacted with others and your thought process
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Macy's in Feb 2011
Interview
Between the initial phone interviews and the final day in NYC, it took a couple weeks. The last group interview being the toughest. We were given a business case to work in a group. We had to come up with answers and present the results. Felt like being on the Apprentice. We also had a retail math test and 2 interviews. I believe the day started at 8 and was done at 3.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Macy's (Joppa, MD) in Oct 2013
Interview
The 1st interview consisted of a phone screening first with HR. The 2nd interview was with the hiring manager, which lasted approximately 45 minutes. The final interview was an entire day of individual and group interviews, with problem solving tests and candidate presentations.
I had 4 Phone Interviews with Macy's and took a critical thinking online test. Questions were straight-forward and simple. Interviewers were friendly and the rapport was relaxed. Recruiting team was very professional and followed-up in a timely fashion.
