I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Safeway
Interview
Safeway uses the STAR system for behavioral interviews. You are taken to a conference room where there are typically two Directors (or Managers, depending on the position being interviewed for) and an HR person who take turns asking several questions that are behavioral based. They need to keep to the questions and there is little interaction outside of the questions and they all take notes on the responses and grade the interview afterwards. You do not meet any peers to ask questions and you do not see the area you would be working. Very sterile environment that is intimidating.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had a conflict. What was the situation, what did you actually do and what actions - what were the results.
