I applied online. I interviewed at ALDI in Apr 2021
Interview
I had an initial HR screening followed by a video interview with 2 senior category managers. It was extremely cut & dry; they read directly from the packet of questions their HR team gave them and there was no back and forth dialogue. I got the impression that the lead interviewer wasn't listening, as I could see her typing while I was answering a question - very disrespectful in my opinion. I was turned off by the interaction and although I didn't get an offer, I wouldn't have accepted if I had. While they are a very innovative company, it seems their corporate culture is still operating traditionally.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- What types of KPI's do you currently use to evaluate your success?
- Describe a time where you had to analyze a large amount of data to determine a strategy.
- Aldi has a lot of rules & policies. Can you describe a time where you were in a situation that wasn't black & white?
- If I asked your manager or peer to describe you w/ a strength and weakness, what would they say and why? How are you working on that weakness?
- How do you stay organized? What systems/software do you use to stay organized?
- What do you discuss with your boss in your weekly touchbases?
- If you could be any type of cookie, what would you be and why?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at ALDI (Verona) in Jun 2021
Interview
Ho percepito il colloquio come un'esperienza arida e grigia. L'ambiente non mi è parso sereno né adatto alla mia crescita professionale. Si sono preoccupati che la posizione per cui mi sono candidato non fosse di mio interesse, visto il mio percorso.
