I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI (Columbia, MO) in Oct 2014
Interview
I applied through my college campus career services online portal. The first round of interns are cut down to students with a GPA above a 3.0. I was then invited to a informational dinner the night before my first round interview. They Vice Presidents do a great job of getting students excited about the employment opportunities at ALDI, they present about the internships and the District Manager Trainee experience and training program.
The first round interview is straight-forward. They will ask you questions about ALDI and your interest in working there as well as about experiences you have listed on your resume.
The second round interview is quite a bit more intense. You will have 5-7 short interviews with the senior managers and Vice President of the division you are being considered for. Here they will ask you trickier questions such as behavioral and ethical questions. They will then take you on a tour around the facility. If you are actually interested in
I applied online. I interviewed at ALDI (Kansas City, KS) in Apr 2026
Interview
First round interview was s video interview with each question having a prerecorded question, then 30 seconds of prep time to answer the question with about 2 minutes of time. You sit at a device of your choosing and stare at yourself the entire time.
Communications started with 3rd party recruiter. Behavioral interview, asked about experience, leadership, communication abilities, weaknesses you have. Moved on to next round. In-person interview following this with Aldi executive. Similar format to initial interview, mainly behavioral, noticed a complete lack of organization.
Every question in 2nd round was a follow-up to the previous question. Having interviewed for many roles across many industries over the years, this interview was an interrogation, not a conversation. Experience led me to believe that Aldi, or this specific interviewer, struggles to see candidates for the District Manager role beyond 'assets'. Makes you wonder if corporate Aldi has a similar effect on other peoples souls. See for yourself!
