I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Starbucks in Nov 2021
Interview
4 Rounds
First Round telephone with the recruiter, was interested in understanding why I want to join the company. Fairly simple and straightforward.
Second round was a culture fit round with a junior employee, similar conversation to first round but more team specific and technology specific. Again was fairly simple
Third round was technical round, went through resume, asked two leetcode questions, one medium one easy, asked why I wanted to join starbucks.
Fourth round manager round, was asked about my technical interests and where I see myself in the company and my expectations from the team

Interview
Applied online; received a request from recruiter to schedule an interview with hiring manager.
Went a little (not a lot) into the role. Asked questions whether I'd used different specific technologies. Asked questions about things you typically do once at a company so you never memorize it (e.g. how to configure SpringBoot to use https). Coding interview was bizarre: asked to implement a sort algorithm from scratch and from memory -- haven't had to do that in over a decade.
Not stressful and easy. Employer explains everything about the job. The salary was not that tempting. You will have a training course before getting to actually work. I think it is not payed.

Interview
Technical interviews were relatively easy. Easy level leetcode or they will ask you to code a simple frontend page using the language of your choice. The interviewers were nice and engaging.
