I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sephora (San Jose, CA) in May 2018
Interview
I received a phone call which was a brief phone screening. We set up a 1 on 1 interview for the following week with the same interviewer that called me. During the interview I was asked simple questions about the company and what I would do in a few theoretical situations. Overall it wasn't very formal so I felt they were disinterested in me as an employee.
Applied online. One in person group interview. Straight forward questions about background and situational scenarios. What if questions. Phone offer after wards. No surprises. Very easy as a retail job interview.

Question 1
What would you do if a customer broke a perfume bottle in store?
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sephora (New York, NY)
Interview
Two-step interview process: group interview with managers, followed by one-on-one with store director. It was quick and didn’t take long to get hired. It was very well communicated and direct with my responsibilities.
2 interviews: first is with the manager and second one with the director. Interview can be stressful but this would be one of the easier interviews compared to certain others. There are some scenario questions. Example; if you're helping a customer in front of you but the phone also rings what do you do?
