I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Starbucks (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2023
Interview
Very easy interview process. Contacted about an interview about 5 days after submitting an application and was called back with an offer the next day. Met with the two different store managers for the interview and was over in about 25 min. Enjoyed time speaking with both of them as well as the easy-going nature of the interview.

Question 1
Questions about management style. Overall, very basic interview questions about work history, why you want to work with Starbucks, and situational customer service based questions.
Straightforward and easy process, received interview offer after 1 week from submitting application. Asked approximately 5 questions related to prior job experience, leadership philosophies, and team-building examples. Heard back after 2 weeks for job offer.

The interview process was low stress, and I was offered a drink by a barista while waiting for the manager. We spoke about my previous relevant work experience, and how I've handled different situations with customers.

It was not as bad as I thought, they asked me about my values, we talked about experiences with customers ( they are very big on treating customers right so a big emphasis on this) and time management
