I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kroger (San Antonio, TX) in Nov 2021
Interview
Interviewed with 4 different people simultaneously, all representing a different potential team I could potentially be a part of. Mostly discussed past projects and went over the hacker rank rank problems I did prior to the interview.

Question 1
Asked me to explain hacker rank problem and asked me about different choices I made in my solution. Problems were first unique character, and removing non unique anagrams from an array.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Kroger in Oct 2024
Interview
Online one-way interview. One technical question and 5 behavioral questions. No in-person interview. Took about 1.5 hours to complete, Also had two "games" they make you play. Overall very impersonal and would not recommend.

Question 1
Tell us about a time you had to make a quick choice using limited information. Please describe the situation, what actions you took, and the result.
Interview went fine, they offered less than what I was already making. I explained this to them, along with what my minimum requirements were to even consider it. Their response was to say "you're concerns are X" as if I needed them to tell me what my concerns were, and thought they were being gracious to increase their offer to what I was already making elsewhere (ignoring the additional commuting/parking expenses I would have incurred). I declined the offer, and they acted insulted.

Combined three interviews with a phone call, Zoom, then in-person interview. Phone call was about the company/ role, Zoom was technical, and in-person was whiteboard questions. There were about three to four people in each interview.
