I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI (Dublin, Dublin) in Jan 2017
Interview
Group interview. Make sure you're as loud and as arrogant as possible because thats all they're looking for. You start off by introducing yourself and explaining your experience and hobbies. You are then given 3 maths tests because in Aldi the tills don't give you the amount of change as you are expected to do it in your head. Then the group is split into smaller groups and they are given a list of items that they would prioritise in the event you crash landed in the ocean.

Interview
Virtual group interview having to prioritise tasks in a typical working day. Was around 6 of us on the call plus the interviewer and we had to work together to prioritise what tasks are most and least urgent from a list given to us.

Question 1
To tell us about ourselves and our favourite Aldi product and favourite part about visiting the shop/ why we want to work there.
Great interview experience but didn't get further. Thanks for the opportunity but I just felt like I wasn't a good fit for the company. Thank you for the opportunity for this interview.
The interview process took 4-6 weeks in total. I initially had a group interview, which was easy enough but did feature a lot of people talking over each other. Then I had a 1-1 interview with the area manager, which lasted about 20 minutes. They asked me standard things like 'Why Aldi?' and 'What can you bring to the role?'. Then I had an interview with the Deputy Store Manager a week later, which featured a walkthrough of the store, duties you'd be expected to perform and then an informal chat to see if you had any questions.
All in all, the process was positive and I seemed to get on well with both the area manager and deputy store manager. However, I was rejected from the role and told that they 'couldn't give me any specific feedback'. This was shocking considering I'd done three interviews with them and spent hours prepping. It's a shame, because they seem like a good company to work for in general, but the whole process feels like a waste of time now.
