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!
I applied online. I interviewed at ALDI (Oak Creek, WI) in Feb 2026

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about your experience along the way, different jobs, positions.
Uploaded video recordings of myself answering questions as an "interview". Took quite a bit of time, and did not give me any way to also get my own feel for how I would like the company. A very single-sided and lazy way to interview.
