I met HR Rep. Loved me. I met with design team. Liked me. Was charged with designing a full collection. I did. I came back and presented. Never heard from them again. I assume I didn't get the job. HR Rep stopped returning my emails.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at American Eagle Outfitters (New York, NY) in Oct 2020
Interview
Overall, standard interview process. I had to complete a project and present it to numerous people on the team. After meeting the VP of the entire brand and showing her my project. I got a request to completely re-do my project and then represent it to the team again. After getting a call from the hiring manager a few days later, I didn't get the job offer. It was a complete waste of time and a HUGE slap in the face after doing all this work for FREE.
