Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 1 week)
Made it through first interview easily. I couldn't make the second interview time because of a family emergency. Tried to reschedule for another day and they informed me they no longer wanted to interview me. Interviewer came off as being somewhat rude. I completely understood the culture at Aldi and he just didn't seem to pick up on that. It seemed as if everything I said positive about the company in the interview, he would argue it and try to prove me wrong. I have the impression now that there is a very negative culture and mistakes are absolutely not tolerated. Looking back, I'm glad I didn't get the job. Probably wouldn't have been happy. A negative atmosphere and 70-80hrs a week in run down looking grocery stores isn't what comes to mind when I think about a satisfying career.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Haines City, FL (took 3 weeks)
I heard about the position through my University and spoke to a couple of people until I got invited to the pre-night dinner, where they provided us with dinner and a presentation on the company and answered our questions. I went to that and the next day was my interview. The 1 on 1 interviews were about to be no longer than 15 minutes (which, i though was insufficient) but mine ended being about 40 minutes. I loved the individuals and their energy. I know many say it is a lot of hard work but I think it depended on the personality and how much of a challenge they wanted. The following week (4 days later), I got a call inviting me to the final round interview. It was a whole day filled with 1 on 1 interviews (6 specifically), a tour of the distribution center and a local Aldi, essay questions and a simple IQ exam. At the end of the week, I received a call extending me an offer.

Negotiation Details
There's really nothing much to negotiate on besides that of your location-maybe. The starting salary is 70,000 and it would basically be considered an insult if you tried to negotiate that.
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Presentation, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test, a Personality Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Met with Aldi representatives at a college career fair, was directed to apply online. A few weeks later I was sent an email from the nearby District Office informing me they wanted me to interview and that I needed to apply through the University for an interview. The night before the interviews, I was invited to attend a presentation that detailed the District Manger job and highlighted the rest of the company and their culture. Very informative and streamlined. The next day I interviewed with two executives, it was a very fast paced style of questioning, kept me on my toes for the entire 45 minutes. While very tough, the interview went well in my mind. About a week later I received a letter notifying me that I had not advanced to the next round of interviews. In my mind it was likely due to a lack of business experience.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 weeks)
Applied through my University's Career Center. The job description & benefits are very impressive for the minimum hiring requirements. I attended a mandatory pre-interview group dinner session. The 1:1 interview was overall a positive experience, nothing out of the ordinary. They are big on questions about theft. Almost all of the time was devoted to the interviewer asking you questions.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Valpo, IN (took 4 days)
I met the Director of something or other at a college career fair and got an interview with them the following day. They had a presentation that night about going over things about Aldi and making sure that we knew what we were getting ourselves into if we are offered the position. The next day was the 1:1 interview with him and he met me on time and was very professional throughout the interview. Nothing too spectacular about the interview, though I did felt like it went really well, but I got an email a few days later saying they were not going to pursue the interview process with me at that time.
