Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
I was really suprised with the interview. The manager just talked to me and told me how she loves working at sbux. She told me about her volunteering at all events, that she has taken on more stores to manage and how sbux is grooming her for a promotion. So I told her about me, where I worked before, my experience, gave examples of situations that I made a difference since she did not ask any questions, I thought I would offer up information. It was very strange. I told her how I thought I would be perfect for the assistant managers job, etc. Then that was it. Very strange.

Reason for Declining
I declined the offer because the job she offered was not the position I interviewed! And the salary was very low and not the hours and days I had applied for as well.
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Coral Springs, FL (took a day)
The manager at this location of Starbucks was extremely easy going and understanding. He put me at ease the moment I sat down with him. He was extremely passionate about the company and that was something we shared. We spoke briefly about my interest in the company, and then about me personally and my work ethics/behaviors. There was no pressure in this interview, and I was offered the job on the spot at the end of the interview, which I was later told was because of my ease, and the way I portrayed myself.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
It was a seleccion process, they review my cv and my application form, and they really like it, there were 2 people, one doing questions and the another looking at me, but they refuse me because I didn´t want to work in that place permanently. The asked me why do you want to work here? where do you live? are you available for work at the openings times? and during the weekends?...

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Clear focus on ability to collaborate and keep a cool head in a busy environment. The interview itself was standard, with questions mostly in the form of stressful scenarios and how you would handle them. I recommend that those who really want the job follow-up if not once, multiple times, as Starbucks managers are quite busy and would have a tough time matching a name to application otherwise.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Seattle, WA (took 2 days)
They have standard questions for the MBA campus recruiting, such as 1. Tell me once upon a time you successfully handle the ambiguity? 2, tell us how you repackage a adverse concept or project for better acceptance 3, tell me how you can sell the onion to the market if we are planning to acquire a onion company? 4 Why you are interested in Starbucks. 5, Could you tell us a story can demonstrate your communication skills?...... Half an hour in total, two interviewers. They are pretty nice and laid back, but limited eye contacts as they are busy with taking notes. And, they will give the very detailed interview process and position introduction in the beginning.
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 days)
The interview process consisted of two parts: the first, was a regular interview in which they asked why I was interested to work in starbucks, my knowledge about the company, what could I bring to the company plus some scenario questions like: how would you react if a collegue was unfear to you, how would you deal with a difficult customer, and more questions of that sort that I can't remember.
The second part, was a trial day. I worked for four hours with the team. After that, I was offered the job.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Seattle, WA (took 3 months)
After a couple of phone interviews in which I was asked very few questions I was told I would be invited to the HQ for a F2F interview. The interviews began with "What questions do you have" and then went into details of my experience. I was given several excuses for delays and ultimately it never happened. The process from 1st interview to rejection notice lasted 3 months. In the end the position was filled by someone in house. I have spoken with another candidate who had a similar experience. Hiring manager was unprofessional in how she handled this process.
