I applied through university. I interviewed at ALDI (Hampton, VA) in Oct 2019
Interview
Very conversational. You're required to attend an informational session the day before the interview. The people that attended my campus were very impersonal and blunt. They described their job as very intensive (working weekdays, weekends, and holidays).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They will ask questions such as "Why do you choose to attend this university" "Explain more about your resume" etc..
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!
