The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at H E B (Austin, TX) in Mar 2016
Interview
I provided my resume to a recruiter at a career fair and didn't think much of it. I received a call two weeks later requesting I interview for the SORL Program and a phone interview was conducted a few days later (20 minutes). From there I met with a regional HR Rep about two weeks later (lasted ten minutes). Following that interview I met with the Regional Director of Retail Operations (one hour). I was offered a job about five hours later.

Why HEB?
Have you interviewed with anyone else? (This was meant as a method to learn what interests me career-wise)
How would your employees describe your leadership style?
Biggest weaknesses?
Biggest strengths?
Name a time you intervened when someone demonstrated questionable integrity.
Name a time you helped a specific employee or peer.
When do you truly shine?
What makes you uncomfortable in the workplace?
How would you define a grey area?
What are your hobbies?
How do you handle work-life balance?
Are you a thinker or a doer?
Why did you choose your major?
I applied online. I interviewed at H E B in Mar 2021
Interview
The phone interview felt very impersonal. No rapport building on the part of the recruiter. Most of the questions are leadership-related. I was surprised so many leadership behavioral questions were asked in a first interview/phone screen with a recruiter.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at H E B (San Antonio, TX) in Apr 2020

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at H E B
Interview
I received an email from an HEB recruiter after applying on their company website for the School of Retail Leadership to set up a phone interview. The interview was set two weeks from then and I was told would last 30-45 minutes.
The time came for the interview and she called right on time. She asked basic interview questions. It lasted just over 20 minutes long. About three weeks later I was called and told I was not selected for the position.
