Starbucks Project Manager interview questions

Starbucks recruiter emailed me to set up an interview with Starbucks. They mentioned the hiring manager was quite busy and that the interview may happen weeks from now. I was definitely fine with that. To be transparent, I told them I already had an offer but I would still do whatever was needed to interview because I really wanted to work at Starbucks. They replied that they would not interview me because of the offer. Dream job, dream company. However, reality is more of a slap in the face. I'd like to remind Starbucks of their own values to work by. Works Well with Others:  Listens and communicates well with others within and outside of Starbucks. For someone outside of Starbucks, this was horrible communication.

For corporate, rarely will you get an interview unless it is college-educated entry-level and you have a pulse, you know someone who can refer you, beat the 6-second skim with a sweet resume if you have experience, are extremely well-known and good in your field if you are senior, or a combination thereof. They can afford to be picky because there are hundreds of qualified candidates for each requisition. I was a combination. The process can take months. I applied and a month later was contacted to coordinate for a phone screen. The initial phone screen is so the senior recruiter can get a sense of your skills. Very professional. It helps to not be a robot and show some personality as long as it is in line with the company culture. A few weeks later they scheduled in-person interviews with partners from the whole department. They want to see if you can do the job and also if you fit the company culture. I'm assuming I was competitive but never found out how close. The process took so long and I couldn't wait on a few more opportunities I was interviewing for at the same time so I accepted a better position elsewhere with a process that only took a month. Its been two months and they have yet to fill the position with anyone else that might have been interviewing. My only criticism is the long hiring process. Other than that, the company seems great if you were to be employed there.
