Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. El proceso tomó 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en REI
Entrevista
If you are being referred by a friend, DO NOT apply until they send you an email invitation to apply or you wont' be considered a referral. Being a referral is good for you and them, so follow the invitation to apply email, and don't get in REI's database first. You'll be contacted by phone and invited to a group interview. The group interviews have lots of applicants (maybe 30) and lots of interviewers (maybe 10). They're fun and silly, and REI is looking to see your personality and communication style. Dress in clean, well maintained casual or outdoorsy clothing.

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.
