I applied online. I interviewed at Kroger (Memphis, TN) in Aug 2021
Interview
Received call, the interviewer basically asked if I had warehouse experience, I said no but I’m a quick learner, asked if I knew how to use a pallet Jack, I said now but I’ve watched multiple videos. Asked if I have experience working n hit and cold climates, I said no and then the interviewer basically told me that I didn’t qualify but thanked me for my time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have experience working in extremely hot or cold climates
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Kroger in Jan 2017
Interview
pretty easy, just asked about availability and if i was tech certified. They gave a tour around the store, and asked how many hours a week i was able to work
Reached out by headhunter.
1. Phone screening by headhunter/recruiter.
2. Did a recorded interview (just a bunch of questions show up and you record yourself answering).
3. Another recorded session, but then followed by 2 games. One game where you memorize numbers and then retype them, and as you progress you actually have to do it backwards. The next game is figuring out matching shapes. Not sure how much weight they put into the games since I bombed one of them.
4. Zoom interview with hiring manager and 2 others who I would be working with.
5. Zoom interview with hiring manager and more people I would be working with.
Both 2/3 are timed, and 4/5 were capped at exactly 30 minutes. As you could imagine, there is very little time to answer questions.

Question 1
Recorded interview questions are listed by another poster here....but it is 110% behavioral. Basically just have your strengths/weaknesses in mind, and be ready to talk about things like an ethical decision you had to make.
In the person interviews, it was pretty much all behavioral. Questions such as:
1. Tell us a bit about yourself
2. How do you learn new technologies
3. How do you work with stakeholders
4. How do you influence others
5. Why are you leaving your current job/did you leave your last job
6. What do you think are important skills for this job
7. Tell us about a fun project you worked on
8. The very last question I got was one of those estimation questions you hear about....How many ping pong balls can fit into a Boeing 737?
You just had to talk through it...they probably didn't care about your final answer as long as it wasn't something absurd.
