2 rounds of 30 minute zoom interviews, basic behavioral questions and questions about how to source products. Asked about technical systems used before and how I work with team members
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Walgreens in Nov 2011
Interview
1. Phone interview with an HR recruiter
2. In-person interview : Walgreens has taken to using the STAR method (Situation - Task - Activity - Result) where you are asked a series (normally around 8 or 9) of questions where you are asked to describe a situation where you were faced with such and such facet of the position you're interviewing for, what you did in that situation, and what the result was.
Generally, there are 2 to 3 interviewers from the Leadership team (who are normally not the manager you will be actually working with) and an HR rep (not necessarily the recruiter you've been speaking with up to this point). Each interviewer takes a turn to ask one of the STAR questions, and all listen to your responses while jotting down notes in their interview forms.
3. Job offer : The HR recruiter calls with the offer at which time you might negotiate. They go back to the hiring Leaders, and get back to you. Once you're all agreed, you get a written, final job offer.

Question 1
Most difficult question for me was "do you have any questions?". By that time, we had been almost an hour doing the STAR questions, and everyone obviously wanted to finish. So, I had to be very selective from the dozen or so questions I really wanted to ask if we had the time.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Walgreens (Deerfield, IL) in Feb 2022
Interview
There are a couple of screening interviews, half hour each. Mostly centered around your resume and providing examples. Last round is meeting with your Category Manager, around a half hour-hour interview to make sure you are a good fit.

I applied online. I interviewed at Walgreens (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2022
Interview
Initial phone interview was with a recruiter. It might have lasted twenty minutes. Very basic questions verifying your background and other information you have on your application. Next interview was with another HR recruiter who was very aggressive when asking her questions.
