I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI (Newcastle upon Tyne, England) in Sep 2021
Interview
Applied online, received an invite to complete interview type question via a app which you record yourself and it gets submitted to the company for review-very odd never had to do that before.
About 3 days later got an invite to go to a in store interview was only offered a specific day and time which i couldnt make so asked for an alternative.
About 2 weeks later finally received another offer for a weeks time. Standard interview stuff.
Was told i was successful about a week later.
Was told by email to attend a 2 hour 'shop trial'
Turned up and this wasn't the case, but more of a meet and greet and shop tour with the manager lasted about 10 mins, was told i would hear back in a couple days. Took about another week, to be told i wasnt successful, no offer of feedback as to why i didnt get it despite being over qualified.
So all in all from the first application took about 4 weeks, with 3 separate interview type meetings with 0 offer or feedback

Question 1
To tell us about ourselves and our favourite Aldi product and favourite part about visiting the shop/ why we want to work there.
Great interview experience but didn't get further. Thanks for the opportunity but I just felt like I wasn't a good fit for the company. Thank you for the opportunity for this interview.
The interview process took 4-6 weeks in total. I initially had a group interview, which was easy enough but did feature a lot of people talking over each other. Then I had a 1-1 interview with the area manager, which lasted about 20 minutes. They asked me standard things like 'Why Aldi?' and 'What can you bring to the role?'. Then I had an interview with the Deputy Store Manager a week later, which featured a walkthrough of the store, duties you'd be expected to perform and then an informal chat to see if you had any questions.
All in all, the process was positive and I seemed to get on well with both the area manager and deputy store manager. However, I was rejected from the role and told that they 'couldn't give me any specific feedback'. This was shocking considering I'd done three interviews with them and spent hours prepping. It's a shame, because they seem like a good company to work for in general, but the whole process feels like a waste of time now.
