      Buyer Interview

      Jul 29, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Phoenix, AZ
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Safeway (Phoenix, AZ) in Oct 2014

      Interview

      Friendly, amiable conversations between myself and several procurement managers. The interview began with gauging personality, then moved on to career goals and job-specific experience and skills. The questions were not intimidating but were still valuable.

      Buyer Interview

      Aug 16, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Pleasanton, CA
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Safeway (Pleasanton, CA) in Oct 2014

      Interview

      Very formulaic. Very basic interview questions with a standardized response. They expect you to answer each question with : What was your thought process, why did you do what you did, did it work, how could you have improved upon it, and what you learned. It was a group panel interview, but all the interviewers were friendly and it was a fairly easy interview overall.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Name a time you were faced with a conflict. How did you overcome this obstacle?
