The initial process is a recorded video interview, in which you record your response to a few different questions before submitting it. You will then be offered a second interview, sometimes a group interview, where they ask typical interview questions.
Asked written responses in the application. Application was followed up with by automated recording interview questions. Questions were very similar to application questions. Didn’t receive any interview with a hiring manager.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at REI (San Luis Obispo, CA) in Jul 2025
Interview
The first stage was completely online. I took the online interview which asked questions and you had 3 minutes to record your answer and submit it; three attempts could be taken. Withdrew application after a few days, so I don't know how the rest of the process is.
