I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Container Store (New York, NY) in Sept 2015
Interview
I was contacted for a group interview via email. The interview went super well. They showed us a video about the foundation principles and asked us to highlight significant points. They also asked us to bring in a picture of a product that would organize a problem area in our household. Everything about it was super easy-going (from the managers to the interviewees). I was contacted the next day to come in for a one-on-one with another manager. The second interview was on the sales floor and was about 15minutes. The manager was super nice and asked lots of standard questions which I will include in a subsequent section. THE PROBLEM is that they told me they would contact me even if I was not chosen. No later than the 19th of September to be exact. IT IS NOW OCT. 2ND AND I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD A YES OR NO. It's so unprofessional. This is my second time having this problem and the last time, they called me a month and a half later stating that I they wanted to offer me a seasonal position.

Applie online. Received an email a month later to schedule date and time for phone interview. Phone interview was pretty easy regular interview questions. After the interview I was invited to a group interview. Group interview was all videos and then questions about videos. I was 10 min late at group interview and missed first video. After the group interview I wasn't expecting second interview but I recieved an email for second one on one interview. Interview was with the same manager who did phone interview and group interview. They showed me around the store and stock room explain the kind of work I might do and ask if I was willing to do it. They ask for background check and after that drug test. After the drug test I recieved an offer email to accept job or decline.
