Dirk Rossmann GmbH Interview Questions
& Process

The interview lasted about an hour and I spoke with three interviewers. It was professional and factual. Afterwards, I received a generic rejection saying they couldn't give specific feedback due to fairness and confidentiality. It's disappointing that after investing so much time, there was no concrete feedback or advice on areas for improvement. This approach feels dismissive as it doesn't help candidates identify weaknesses or develop further.

I'm still so impressed and happy that I was invited and had this positive conversation. There were two interviews in total. First, there was a phone call for an initial screening, a very brief introduction, about whether the company and employee were a good fit. It was a very pleasant conversation, and I was directly informed about benefits, my potential salary, and the next steps without having to ask. Since I applied for several positions in the area, I also asked if it was possible to get the job closer to my home, and that was possible without any issues. The conversation went well, and I was invited to an in-person interview at the desired branch very quickly. This was super informative, and I found the store manager's questions to be great. I felt like they really wanted to get to know me and wanted to hire someone who wants to stay with the company long-term and brings motivation. Nothing was sugarcoated; it was emphasized that the daily work in the store can naturally be stressful and involves certain efforts, where resilience is naturally important. I was very happy about the transparency and also that when I mentioned I'm a mother, I wasn't treated differently. I got the impression that the company is very well-organized and modern, with good communication, which is very important to me. You just feel welcome and treated fairly from the start of the conversation. At the end, I was told they would get back to me within a week at the latest, but I received the call the very next day that they had chosen me. All in all, I am still impressed and very much looking forward to the job, especially because I really wanted to work at Rossmann and I hope to stay there long-term. I'm excited to see what the future holds there and looking forward to starting!

I am first warmly welcomed and then meet the store management or the HR manager. In the conversation, I answer questions about myself, for example, why I applied, what experience I have, my strengths and weaknesses, and how I handle stress.

I had a very competent, polite, and nice conversation with the interviewer, which I immediately liked. We talked for a long time. Since I am a regular customer, I could answer everything. I was given another appointment right away.
