Question 1
why do you want to work at petco mostly behavioral questions
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Petco (San Diego, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
I applied online and received an email of interest within a week. I spoke with the recruiter, she was really nice and pleasant to speak with. Although the interview process was good, I loose a lot of respect for a company that leaves applicants hanging after an interview. It shows that they either dont really care, lack of leadership or are seriously under staff.
One tip for Petco: Send a rejection email to applicants that are not moving forward, it only takes two seconds.

Question 1
The questions were all very direct- I'm currently in school so a lot of the questions were focus on what I could apply from my program to the position.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Petco
Interview
I was reached out by a Petco HR, and after a couple of email exchanges and a phone call screening, I had a second phone interview was conducted with a couple of Senior Vendor Analysts. The interview was straight forward and they were very thorough in explaining what type of candidate they were looking for. Their interview questions really tested your analytical skills, but I can honestly say I did not prepare myself enough with the technicality of the position. If all went well it would have rolled over to an in-person interview with the Senior Analysts.
The entire process took about 2 weeks, but the only thing that was not happy with was the amount of time it took for them to contact me that I had not gotten the offer. I had figured out that I probably did not get an offer, but come on, it took months to let me know. I had forgotten about it, until they sent an email months later.
