ALDI Interview Questions

Application

I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at ALDI (Center Valley, PA) in September 2019.

Interview

I started off by searching glassdoor for position. I found one I liked, I applied and I waited. I received a text message a few days later stating I was selected for a group interview. I went to the group interview, watched a little video, was given some background information and then asked a few questions by the managers/team leads. I was told to keep an eye out in my email/text about the next steps. A day later I was emailed to come back for the warehouse tour and lifting assessment. I was given the opportunity to ask questions and was told again to watch email/text. That evening I received an email stating that they would like to bring me back for a final interview.

I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI.

Interview

The process was very long and seemed drawn out. Started with an on campus interview (1 on 1), then moved onto a full day of interviews (5 interviews) and a warehouse tour at the corporate office, followed by a full day of shadowing a District Manager at an actual store and a final interview. Overall the process took over a month and the interview questions were redundant throughout each interview. Process could've been simplified and completed in a much shorter timespan.

Interview

The whole interview process was too long. I was supposed to do a group interview, but that got postponed. They instead did a phone interview with the recruiter which was fine. I think this was easier because it was just with the recruiter. She was nice and it was great talking to her. I got invited to the second round of interview which was a skype interview with the same recruiter and two managers. This was 45 minutes- one hour, and honestly, I did not like it. They kept on asking me behavioral questions and I did my best to respond. They told me that there was going to be a third interview if I was chosen to move on. I got rejected by them as they said they found someone who has more qualifications. I understand that I didn't get it which is fine, but how can someone else be more qualified? Isn't the point of an internship to get experience and learn in the real world. I do not know why this whole interview process is extensive. Three interviews just for an internship? The third interview was going to be with a director and the manager. I just felt that they kept on asking questions that were not fair. I personally think Aldi's recruitment process is too much because you have to go through multiple rounds. They do not even give you feedback on how you did in your interview. I tried sending the managers and recruiters a thank you email, but they did not respond. I just feel like this whole process could have been better.

Interview

I received a call from one of the district managers in Texas Aldi a few days ago and scheduled an interview. So I showed up to my interview early on time and discovered the district manager didn't even bother to show up and the store manager didn't even know I was coming. This district manager in question had several days to inform me he couldn't make it to the interview and didn't bother to say anything. I talked to the store employees for a few seconds and I they told me this district manager did the same thing to a few other applicants he blatantly wasted their time scheduled them for interviews and didn't even bother to show up. I basically wasted gas driving down there and getting into a suit and he blatantly wasted my time and doesn't care.

Corporate HQ needs to crack down on these district managers blatantly wasting applicants time during the Corona crisis. Before the crisis occurred it would have taken them normally 2-4 weeks and you still would have had a low chance even with a competitive application. Now with 22 million unemployed people there is no need for these district managers to be such jerks to applicants despite the positive PR spin the company tries to paint during the crisis. As a result of my experience with this district manager I'm blacklisting this company for life and never shopping in any Aldi's or Trader Joes ever again.

Interview

I had a group interview and walked around the store. After I got called back they sent me to get a drug test and also did a background check. For some reason it took them almost 2 weeks to get back to me. Once they did get back to me, I declined the orientation due to the corona virus.

Interview

Campus interview. Dinner the night before to do a relaxed Q&A then in person 30 minute interview next morning. Did not get a second around onsite interview, but I was told that out of the 4 who went, only one received an offer.

Application

The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at ALDI (New York, NY).

Interview

Applied for the position through the companies portal. It took them about a month to get respond and first HR interview. Within hours after the HR interview, got a meeting request for a F2F interview. This was the point where all the ordeal starts, I was told that a technical manager and HR will conduct the meeting but HR got sick and didn't join the interview. The interview went fine and mainly surrounds my past experience. The interviewer was really friendly and had a great conversation in German and in English. After the interview, I was told that next interview will be conducted by his manager and will mainly focus on contract. I waited for few days after the interview and contacted HR. The HR was now on vacation and no one else had any idea what's the outcome. After few days I asked again, now the actual interviewer was away. Fortunately after some days they responded back and said that they wish to continue further. This time the department manager wishes to talk along with another person. When the interview started they both repeated the same pattern and questions as the first interview and it seemed like they have got absolutely no feedback or protocols from the first interview and no contractual issues were discussed. I was told to wait for few weeks. After three weeks, I contacted them again and again HR was absolutely oblivious of my interview progress. I was told that they will get back to me and within 30 mins, I got a rejection email. No feedback was given despite promise, and I wasted two and half months in the interview process (from first HR interview till rejection). In this whole interview process, I knew about HR manager only through emails or telephone but no f2f contact during both interviews.
