I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Starbucks (Charlotte, NC) in Dec 2025
Interview
I applied online, then I reached out to the recruiter and they set up an interview with me. After the interview I had an interview with two DMs. The first interview was a 30 minute phone interview, the second was a one hour video interview. The DMs asked a lot of follow up questions to the STAR answers, even though I answered them thoroughly. I have plenty of experience for the position and the recruiter called me personally to tell me they had moved in a different direction which I appreciated.

Two district sanagers interviewing over Microsoft Teams. Extensive, heavy "STAR" use required in questions with follow up questions from interviewers. 5 questions for me but our interview went nearly an hour, overall friendly.

You first have a screen with the recruiter, and she sets up time to speak with you. If you pass that, you get sent to the DM and interview with that DM and another DM and then usually decision after that.
