I applied online. I interviewed at Starbucks (Dana Point, CA) in Nov 2020
Interview
It was an easy, clear interview process. It was more of a personality interview over skills and past jobs. The interviewing manager asked a normal amount of questions that were easy to answer.
So hard they asked questions about all fields and I was stumped on most of them. Needed to really dig into my knowledge of chemistry and math to fully answer these questions
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The coffee you brewed was a 5.2 on the PH scale and you have 8 fl oz of there. To neutralize you need to add milk to get to a perfect 6.0 PH. How much do you need to add and what rate should you titrate at
Simple behavioralThe Starbucks interview was friendly and low-pressure. The manager asked about customer service, teamwork, and availability. It focused more on personality than experience, and the environment felt welcoming. Overall, it was straightforward and positive.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Starbucks (Costa Mesa, CA) in Nov 2025
Interview
It was really fun to learn more about the company, its culture, and its values, Plus they give you free coffee, so that is always a benefit of making it to one of their interviews
