Question 1
How do you motivate your team when facing a tough situation?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Lidl (Kildare) in Aug 2019
Interview
Group interview- no details shared in advance and the floor was open for anyone to answer questions. Good for those who are confident and outspoken, but challenging for those who are more reserved.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Lidl
Interview
Interviewers were smug and very clearly unhappy. Even the receptionist was rude. Zero follow up from HR making the entire process a waste of time. Very bad vibe in the air, clear that the morale is toxic and turnover is high!
