The interview was easy, they just ask about your experience and availability, and why you're interested in working there. If you have any barista experience it's likely you will be hired then and there.

The first interview was a group interview, which they didn't mention beforehand. I only found out when I got there, which was annoying. Then I got a call back for a second interview. When I showed up for that one, nobody was there. After I messaged them that I was waiting outside, the person said we'd reschedule, but then they never replied to my emails or calls. It was super frustrating, especially since during the interview they bragged about how great their coffee company was and how they expect everyone to be punctual and manage their time well. It seems like they don't follow their own rules and have a lot of people quitting. Be careful with this company.
