I applied online. I interviewed at Kroger (Novi, MI) in Jun 2021
Interview
The whole process was very professional and a pleasure to be a part of. It made you feel like you were like you were going to be a part of something big if you were lucky enough to be selected
Very quick. Phone call with the corporate HR phone line and very informal meeting with hiring manager. More so there to fill out forms vs. have an actual interview. This may be due to COVID and the lack of applicants for this role, however.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kroger (Nashville, TN) in May 2021
Interview
The recruiter specifically told me they "will not give you any formal code challenge, just white boarding sorta stuff".
She was completely wrong and the interview consisted of 4 white men asking me to code a chess board, as if this is what makes a shopping cart app.
Horrible experience. Uptight corporate feeling to the whole thing. Wouldn't have wanted it regardless.
