I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lidl (Ballymena, Northern Ireland) in Jul 2015
Interview
Easy relaxed interview. I was interviewed by two people one was the manager for the store in which i applied for. The interview lasted about 15 minutes. Questions where very easy and predicted. They asked about my degree which was in science and why I would choose to work for lidl when I have a science degree.
They asked about if I had any holidays booked and if i was flexible with working times. They explained earlier starts which could be from 5 in the morning. Late shifts could end after 10 but could run on longer.
The interviewers were both very nice and professional but it was not as formal as many other interviews i have been to so i was a nice change.
Asked about availability as I was a university student, gave me a scenario of situations happening in store and asked how I would priority each one, asked what my favourite Lidl item was
I interviewed at Lidl (Newcastle upon Tyne, England)

Took 10 mins interview with a manager and a supervisor. Basic questions however really stressful but overall good experience not hard questions just very particular. Employees all seemed nice. Was told I’d receive a call within a week if I was accepted however didn’t receive one so
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Lidl (Novi Sad) in Apr 2026
Interview
My experience with this company was very poor.
I initially applied for a position and was contacted by phone to confirm my interest. After that, an interview was scheduled, which I confirmed and attended as agreed.
However, after some time, I received an email stating that I did not attend the interview and that my application was considered withdrawn — which is simply not true, as I was present and completed the interview.
I reached out to clarify the situation and had to wait almost a week for them to investigate what should have been a simple mistake. When they finally responded, I was informed that I was not selected for a sales position in a city I never applied for.
They apologized and explained it was a system error — but at that point, there had already been two major system errors during my application process.
Overall, this was a very disappointing and unprofessional experience with a company that presents itself as organized and a desirable employer. Unfortunately, my experience showed the opposite.
