I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Lidl in Jan 2016
Interview
Phone screening followed by an in person interview. The only negative from the interview experience was that the two HR directors evading answering questions about the local office culture when asked. This is likely due to the overall negative reviews for that particular office, but I would have liked an explanation for why things seem so negative there.
Seemed like a good opportunity, but they were also pitching low-ball numbers for salary.
