I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI (Columbus, OH) in Oct 2015
Interview
I had a first round interview at my school and then went to a nearby Aldi warehouse/store and had 3 back to back interviews. We also filled a question on paper. The day consisted of being with Aldi district managers and other higher management. Do your best to talk to managers and make an impression. The overall experience was not bad, other candidates seemed to brown nose the higher management and get further in the process. The employees were generally pretty nice.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Aldi? What type of people intrigue you? What type bore you? Which do you like better the process of accomplishing a goal or accomplishing the goal? Explain you leadership style. Name a time where things did not go as planned.
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!
