I applied online. I interviewed at Starbucks (Houston, TX) in Jun 2023
Interview
I had two interviews. My first one was with the Store Manager and an ASM and they asked basic and behavioral questions. Also, questions surrounding why you like coffee and why Starbucks. My second interview was with those two managers and the District Manager, which consisted of the same questions. It was fairly easy and conversational!
Straightforward and easy process, received interview offer after 1 week from submitting application. Asked approximately 5 questions related to prior job experience, leadership philosophies, and team-building examples. Heard back after 2 weeks for job offer.

The interview process was low stress, and I was offered a drink by a barista while waiting for the manager. We spoke about my previous relevant work experience, and how I've handled different situations with customers.

It was not as bad as I thought, they asked me about my values, we talked about experiences with customers ( they are very big on treating customers right so a big emphasis on this) and time management
