I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at ALDI in Feb 2020
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.

Interview
First round interview was s video interview with each question having a prerecorded question, then 30 seconds of prep time to answer the question with about 2 minutes of time. You sit at a device of your choosing and stare at yourself the entire time.
Communications started with 3rd party recruiter. Behavioral interview, asked about experience, leadership, communication abilities, weaknesses you have. Moved on to next round. In-person interview following this with Aldi executive. Similar format to initial interview, mainly behavioral, noticed a complete lack of organization.
Every question in 2nd round was a follow-up to the previous question. Having interviewed for many roles across many industries over the years, this interview was an interrogation, not a conversation. Experience led me to believe that Aldi, or this specific interviewer, struggles to see candidates for the District Manager role beyond 'assets'. Makes you wonder if corporate Aldi has a similar effect on other peoples souls. See for yourself!
