I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI
Interview
The process was very long and seemed drawn out. Started with an on campus interview (1 on 1), then moved onto a full day of interviews (5 interviews) and a warehouse tour at the corporate office, followed by a full day of shadowing a District Manager at an actual store and a final interview. Overall the process took over a month and the interview questions were redundant throughout each interview. Process could've been simplified and completed in a much shorter timespan.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q. What could you bring to the District Manager position?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI in Feb 2020
Interview
Skype interview, then Superday, then offers out. Was very casual throughout. They wanted to see how you communicated with people, including competing candidates. Toured you around the massive warehouse and a store.

Interview
Met a recruiter at my university's career fair and told them I was very interested in the position. Next, I was invited to a dinner/information session at my university with about 40 others - this included both District Manager and District Manager Intern candidates. All dinner invitees attended first round interviews. First round was a 30 minute interview on campus. The woman who interviewed me was a director and prompted me with several questions - tell me about yourself, why do you want this position, scenarios...etc. My interview only lasted 15 minutes because we covered everything so quickly. A week later, I followed up with the secretary who set up initial interviews and was invited back for round two. Only ten people (five DM and five DM intern candidates) were invited back. This was a day-long interview that takes place in the divisional office. When we arrived, we were provided two essay prompts: Why do you want to work for ALDI? and Why do you want to be a District Manager? I highly recommend drafting this before writing it. Each person in the group interviewed one-on-one with a few District Managers, the Director of Operations, and the Vice President. In total, you complete five 30-minute interviews. Next, you get a tour of an ALDI store and of the warehouse. A few weeks after that interview, they made an offer that included everything they explain during the informational session.
