I applied online. I interviewed at ALDI in Sep 2020
Interview
I applied, completed the online assessment and then the video interview. Video interview gave 30 seconds before the camera began recording for each question, and then it cut out automatically which I found difficult as I then accidentally was cut off in the middle of a sentence. You can't watch the answers you've given back or re-record them, it moves automatically to the next question. Heard back within a week.

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.
