      Graduate Area Manager Interview

      Jan 25, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Manchester, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI (Manchester, England) in Dec 2018

      Interview

      Reached the Assessment Centre stage of the process, and needed to travel 6 hours+, with no travel expenses reimburse. Before this stage, I had completed three levels of testing, and a video interview. The assessment centre was a group format, where you were given 10 minutes to prepare and give a presentation on your store walk (topics included were store layout, customer behaviour, store facilities etc), and then be prepared to answer questions and justify your viewpoints. Following this, there was a HR exercise, where you would come to your conclusions regarding the best applicant for the new project, before coming together as a team to discuss (be aware, people just shout over each other, it gets quite embarrassing considering you aren't actually going for the same job). It seems that this isn't really a graduate scheme, as a huge amount of the questions related to experience, quite a lot of which people wouldn't have just leaving University - and definitely more career-change orientated. At interview, the majority of us realised that they tempt you in with promises of high salary, but your hourly rate will be lower than most other graduate employers, and you would be expected to work unlimited hours a week, we were told around 75-80 is around average! Would not recommend - and I was glad I didn't get an offer.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at ALDI (Neston, Cheshire, North West England, England) in Dec 2023

      Interview

      Application was straight forward Video interview was around 6 questions with one minute to think and one minute to record Online test were easier than most jobs on Penn resources- numerical, reading and pattern. Assessment Centre was two hours we discussed a topic for our store walk: Competitor analysis, branding and merchandise, Corporate social responsibility. Then we were given 4 CVs to read and select the best one based off skills, location, feedback. then I had the final interview: CV screening, I was asked who were therein stakeholders in my life, how I would deal with demands of the job ect

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI (London, England) in Oct 2023

      Interview

      Overly lengthy application process. They are looking for a very particular individual regardless of technical experience or capability. If you have a group of people that are not particularly capable, It is almost impossible to do the group exercise properly without coming across as overbearing.
