Interview
About 2 weeks after applying online, I received an email inviting me to do a one-way video interview. There were about 7 questions that assessed my background and salary expectations. About 2 weeks after submitting the video interview, I was invited for an on-site interview and given instructions about conducting "Due Diligence". This was probably the most frustrating part of the process as I had to coordinate phone conversations with 8 different people in the one week's notice. Once I was able to get a hold of everyone, I admit, the information was useful. I was also asked to create an action plan for how I would adjust to the new role. The final step was a panel interview with the 8 people I spoke to during Due Diligence. I found this part uncharacteristically unstructured since about half the questions were not predetermined; they were asked in response to my introductory pitch and my responses to other questions. I was told beforehand that the interview would be 30 minutes long and they adhered to that time frame. I was notified the next day that they'd offered the position to another candidate. Overall, it wasn't terrible. The questions were pretty standard and I was kept informed throughout the process. No hard feelings.

Interview
The interview process was very rushed and unprofessional. Please be advised that this company utilizes a company called HireVue, in which you are required to conduct a highly impersonal, recorded session of yourself answers preselected questions by Whole Foods. From an HR perspective, this is a HUGE red-flag. These type of interviews can turn to be problematic if things such as discrimination and unconscious bias creeps in. This is a conversation that many in the HR are talking about as it related to Whole Foods.
