I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Blue Bottle Coffee
Interview
Phone call with recruiter, two online interviews, with Area Leaders & Regional Leader. Overall easy if you have experience within the leadership and cafe roles. I prepared for it, but should be straightforward.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Blue Bottle Coffee (Los Angeles, CA) in Apr 2018
Interview
I applied via emailing my resume to area leader/ recruiter. Had a phone interview the following week. It was very conversational and relaxing. The next interview was with the Area Leader. The interview experience was very much similar to the first. I next had a panel interview via google hangout. Typically not a fan of panels. I believe they can automatically put interviewee in gaurd and introvert the candidate. Nonetheless, I felt comfortable and felt excited to share and answer a series of three questions from each interviewer aswell any followups. I was the asked to provide references and received offer the next week.
