I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Starbucks (Los Gatos, CA) in Aug 2025
Interview
They give you some fancy coffee then ask you a bunch of questions. Make sure you practice your answers to all their questions. You can find them all online. I didn’t practice enough which kinda messed up my interview
After applying online they invited me for an online interview that was a group interview then the next stage would have been a one to one digital interview over zoom.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What's a difficult customer interaction you've had?
The interview was short and straight forward. They ask about availability and previous employment. No complicated questions. The interviews take place in the cafe of one of the starbucks stores.

Question 1
They asked how I would handle fast paced environments
very easy and straightforward, they did a coffee tasting and was asked to describe the coffee taste. They focus on customer service, and knowing starbucks slang and the company goals is always a plus
