The interview was pretty easy and straightforward, with expected questions. It was an online meeting that lasted under 15 minutes. The hiring manager wanted to check my knowledge and personality, which totally makes sense for a customer-facing barista job.

Behavioral Technical

I got an email back to schedule a phone interview. They were pretty slow to respond to emails. The interview was over the phone. During the phone interview with HR, there was a really loud dog barking. After the phone interview, they didn't really update me on anything. I never heard back about whether I got the job.
