I applied online. I interviewed at Starbucks in May 2026
Interview
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. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Starbucks (Oklahoma City, OK) in Oct 2011
Interview
Coming prepared definitely helps! You will be interviewed with multiple DM's, all of which had different management styles. If your are considering moving up tell your stories that actually sound like a manager versus a SS.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Story telling has become rather popular with the company. Telling your personal story and make sure to include something that helped you develop as a manager.
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.
