Application
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at ALDI (Swindon, Gloucestershire, South West England, England) in Jan 2016
Interview
This is no longer recent and I understand it has changed significantly since but my process was an online application and situational judgement test followed by an assessment day and then a final round interview if you were successful in the assessment day. The whole process was really quick and straightforward.
Challenging but got great exposure into the company and the culture. It was a competitive interview and selection process but the reward good. I also liked that offered pay transparency which was good.
