The interview was very straight forward. Expect 'what would you do in this situation' type of questions relating to customer service. Appear upbeat and positive. Make sure you convey that the customers' needs are most important.

Team work is very important in Starbucks. They strive to work collaboratively across functional teams. They also believe in work life balance and accommodate employees to work remotely when needed based on the job nature. Everyone in the teams really believe and feel passionate about the company. Overall, it was a very good interview experience.

There is a focus on fitting in with the group and wanting to be there in the role that you are interviewing for. They want you to want to be there on their team.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 2 days)
You fill out a personality survey type deal online, then the store will call you to set up an interview. The interview consists of general questions - why do you want to work here, what about Starbucks do you like, do you have prior work experience, etc.? then there are questions where you're asked to describe situations of high stress, overcoming obstacles, etc.
You may get called back for the second interview which essentially means you're hired.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Sherman, TX (took a day)
I received a phone call for an interview one week after applying online. After informing someone I was there for the interview, I was asked if i wanted a drink and replied no thank you. It was a 1 on 1 interview process where they asked STAR technique questions about behavioral situations on previous jobs and was told to find out on monday about the job status.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Agoura Hills, CA (took 2 months)
On line many jobs were listed in the 4 specific stores I applied on-line for. After I filled out a short basic question list, I was shone a page that said no jobs were available. It also said that I would be notified over the next 60 days, 'if an opening occurred'. After that time you may resubmit to their basic questions and start over again. Keep your password and user name, as it is needed to access your first application.
Don't worry about how fast an answer is coming about this job, it make take a while.
