I applied online. I interviewed at ALDI (Chelmsford, England) in Mar 2022
Interview
Called to interview at store. Short interview. Applied because of all of the stuff on their recruitment web site about inclusion, thought they would be OK with my Autism. They rejected me because of attributes of my Autism, such as my difficulty in maintaining eye contact. Got banned from applying again, more fool them, I completed my degree and got a first. Now got a job earning many times what I would have done at Aldi. Central HR are impossible to contact. Email contact is ignored. Feedback difficult to get and not routinely given. Very poor, I do not recommend for those with disabilities, they seem to only want to employ staff that fit a standard profile and want to discriminate against everyone else.
Had a group online interview and I felt it was very hard to get any point across and it felt very over the top and the process seemed too long for what the job actually was
Started as a group where we were educated on the history and benefits about working at ALDI, and were asked what we think working at ALDI is like. Seemed like a good company with fair pay. The individual interview itself only asked availability.
I was first givwn the opportunity to join a group assessment, which I passed. I was then asked to attend a face-to-face interview, in-store but the manager did not come into work that day and I was asked to rearrange the interview after waiting for over an hour. Another applicant also turned uo and waited 30 minutes after I arrived
