I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Indianapolis, IN) in Feb 2024
Interview
Panel with 2 people one of which admitted they hadn’t done this before. It was choppy and uncomfortable. The recruiter took over 4 weeks just to let me know the outcome of that one interview. She told me it was a mistake and she thought someone else had followed up.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are so disappointed to hear that you had this experience. We try our best to provide a positive candidate experience and will consider this feedback as we move forward and grow.

I applied online. I interviewed at Starbucks in May 2026

Super easy. Applied online. A recruiter reached out for initial interview, was about 15-30 minutes. Recruiter set up second interview with DM and peer DM for the following week. After that, was interviewed by the regional.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Starbucks (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2026
Interview
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.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Starbucks (Concord, CA)
Interview
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.
