I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Dutch Bros. (Phoenix, AZ)
Interview
There will be multiple interviews (typically 3 rounds) that you have to get through. The first will usually be "open interviews" where you're going up against hundreds of other applicants. They will ask you pretty standard interview questions on the first one just to get an idea of who you are as a person. In the second interview, they will ask you a couple more questions and then have you pretend to be a barista and have an impromptu conversation with a customer. The third interview is a group interview. My best advice, if they have you "get to know someone" remember everything about them (name, hobbies, etc.) because they will ask you to introduce who you talked to. Personally, the group interview was pretty awkward and uncomfortable, but this is a very people-centered job, so it makes sense why it's set up that way. Other than that, be yourself and communicate that you care about people and you should land yourself a broista job!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you were to be remembered for one thing, what would you want to be remembered for?
Many stages, spontaneous questions that I didn’t expect. First a virtual interview then a group interview. Then a test of memorizing recipes of drinks and whatnot. Tedious. Intimidating but they care a lot about having some creativeness and aligning with their values
The interview process is constantly being remodeled to adapt to the generations of new broista hires that fit with the growth of the company. I had a phone call interview and an in person “panel” style interview.

Question 1
What kind of vegetable would you be if you could choose one?
Very friendly and fun. It was different than most interviews. They try to see how well you can hold a conversation and if you are friendly. Overall an easier interview than most.
