I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kroger (Cincinnati, OH) in Feb 2019
Interview
Process is very efficient. Two different phone screenings. One is more behavioral where they get to know you and your interests, the next is more technical so they can see where to best place you.

Behavioral questions, less technical than expected
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Kroger (Cincinnati, OH) in Apr 2017
Interview
Took an online test that gave 3? hours, however, was designed to take much less time than that. Received a phone interview afterwards to ask about skillsets and get a better understanding of my programming background, not based upon previous work experience really. Was asked about being able to solve the first question in under 3 minutes due to the question providing the algorithm in which to solve the problem which is easily mapped to function calls in the Java Stream API. Finally got a in-person interview in which they asked more about previous work experiences, goods, bads, opinions on why I felt certain applications were not the best, as well as a whiteboard question (actually 2 in my case as had time) that tested ability to work with/talk through with another person instead of just being able to solve the problem which I would classify as simple whiteboard problems.

Question 1
Explain what functional programming was, its benefits, downsides and why I thought it was useful or not.
