I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at RH
Interview
Very drawn out with little sense of urgency. Multiple interviews for a leadership position, which is expected. However, 2-4 weeks between contact shows a disrespect for the applicant's time, and a disinterest in the importance of the position. Odd to have during the hiring process, considering during the interviews, it is consistently mentioned how much they value their people.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"How well do you feel you align with our core values?"
I was contacted to interview through contacts. Was “fast tracked” through the first couple interviews, all over the phone. Then after 2 months of no contact, I was reached out to again to continue.
All questions were based on the company values, and how I would “fit” into the brand. There was never a discussion on business driving capabilities.
There were a couple interviews that the individual seemed distracted and not really listening to me or paying attention to the conversation.
After each interview, the feedback was positive, and was moved on to the next phase.
Overall I had 7 Interviews through 4 months just to be told that they moved on to other candidates.

Question 1
Which one of our Company Values best speaks to you, and why?
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at RH in Mar 2019
Interview
The interview process is very long and involves speaking to multiple people. Most of the questions were about “fit” and it made it difficult to assess the everyday responsibilities of the role. The terminology used by the company makes it difficult to cut through the show and understand what anyone’s actual job is (every title is a Designer or Leader). Scheduling each interview was a waiting game.
It’s in an interesting company with some quality people but beware of the fluff and ask for direct details about the job. I was told I was interviewing for a Design management position and the details of the role changed 4 months later to a sales and marketing position. It was a lot of wasted time talking about personal values instead of addressing the actual role. I read other reviews that were similar and wish I had seen the long and vague process as a red flag earlier!
