I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Westfield, MA) in Mar 2016
Interview
Initial Interview is by phone, then you are directed to online quiz, if you advance in the process there is a on site interview. The phone interview was good though hard to gauge the interviewer through systematic questioning. The on-site interview was much better, It was in-depth, well organized and comfortable. The process made me feel more comfortable about become a part of this workforce. After meeting with the HR Staff I would greatly enjoy becoming part of their corporate team.
The interviewers were not very engaging, and the conversation lacked warmth and balance. The first 10–15 minutes were primarily spent highlighting how heavy the workload is and how many tasks the successful candidate would be expected to handle. While transparency about expectations is important, the way it was presented felt overly focused on the demands of the role rather than the support, team environment, or growth opportunities. As a result, the interview felt more intimidating than inviting, and the overall experience left a less positive impression.

Interview
Not too bad. Had a phone screen with a recruiter, followed shortly by a phone interview with the HRM and RHRM. They flew me out to the location to meet the GM and interview again. The first time they picked someone else but then offered me a role in another facility.
