Case Behavioral
Applied early Feb 2026, after submitting my CV I was invited to a group interview. We did an interactive case simulation, then they asked me questions about my interest in the company and my availability. They said I'd hear back in a week but after 3 weeks, I heard nothing, which was pretty unprofessional and disappointing. They could have at least sent an email update instead of wasting my time.

Behavioral Group Other
I had a small group interview that lasted about an hour with the hiring manager and the shift leader. It was a friendly and relaxed vibe. We also did a short role-play to see how I'd handle customer interactions. I heard back within a couple of days. This interview made me really want to work there. Since I haven't worked in a coffee shop before, it seems like they cared more about my customer service skills and personality than actual barista experience!
