      Area Leader Interview

      Oct 2, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Blue Bottle Coffee in Sep 2017

      Interview

      Applied online, phone interview with two recruiters, panel interview with VP of Retail, recruiter, and HR Manager. Until the panel interview the process went well with the recruiters maintaining regular communication. However, I was extremely disappointed in the panel interview as the VP of Retail appeared distracted, chilly, and uninterested in the interview after having dialed in late to the hangout. I received an automatic rejection email with no constructive feedback.
