I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI in Sep 2010
Interview
I scheduled an interview through my campus' system. We were treated to a nice pre-interview dinner and one-hour presentation the day before the interview.
The one-on-one interview only lasted 12 minutes (5 minutes of recruiter's questions and 7 minutes of my questions after he was done).
I really did not feel like I was being treated fair. The last question on the recruiter's side was where I was born (I was born overseas and told him so) after that he invited me to ask him questions and the interview was over.
I applied online. I interviewed at ALDI (Kansas City, KS) in Apr 2026
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!
