I applied through university. I interviewed at ALDI
Interview
The interview process was three rounds, the first was on campus (one twenty minute interview, pretty standard). Be prepared to talk about what your family would think about you working retail/Aldi, what some of your reservations are. The second round was a tour of their DC with their head of Warehouse and an Aldi store with a DM. Make sure to ask a ton of questions, and generally be involved in the conversation. After that, there are four rounds of interviews with various upper management, each is very relaxed and they generally seem to just want to get to know you and ask a couple of boiler plate questions first. I asked my last interviewer if i could have improved in any way, and in a nutshell he said no that i was great. However, I learned later that they were recruiting only bilingual candidates (out of eight being interviewed, the only two who went on spoke spanish fluently).

Interview
First round interview was s video interview with each question having a prerecorded question, then 30 seconds of prep time to answer the question with about 2 minutes of time. You sit at a device of your choosing and stare at yourself the entire time.
Communications started with 3rd party recruiter. Behavioral interview, asked about experience, leadership, communication abilities, weaknesses you have. Moved on to next round. In-person interview following this with Aldi executive. Similar format to initial interview, mainly behavioral, noticed a complete lack of organization.
Every question in 2nd round was a follow-up to the previous question. Having interviewed for many roles across many industries over the years, this interview was an interrogation, not a conversation. Experience led me to believe that Aldi, or this specific interviewer, struggles to see candidates for the District Manager role beyond 'assets'. Makes you wonder if corporate Aldi has a similar effect on other peoples souls. See for yourself!
