I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Las Vegas, NV) in Aug 2014
Interview
2 person panel interview. Each district manager took turns asking different questions. No emotion from either DM. Did not feel exactly welcoming. They were nice, just the feeling was not welcoming.

I applied online. I interviewed at Starbucks in May 2026

Super easy. Applied online. A recruiter reached out for initial interview, was about 15-30 minutes. Recruiter set up second interview with DM and peer DM for the following week. After that, was interviewed by the regional.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Starbucks (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2026
Interview
Two district sanagers interviewing over Microsoft Teams. Extensive, heavy "STAR" use required in questions with follow up questions from interviewers. 5 questions for me but our interview went nearly an hour, overall friendly.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Starbucks (Concord, CA)
Interview
You first have a screen with the recruiter, and she sets up time to speak with you. If you pass that, you get sent to the DM and interview with that DM and another DM and then usually decision after that.
