I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI (London, England) in Oct 2023
Interview
Overly lengthy application process. They are looking for a very particular individual regardless of technical experience or capability. If you have a group of people that are not particularly capable, It is almost impossible to do the group exercise properly without coming across as overbearing.
