      Interview

      Grocery Outlet made the hiring experience really smooth and efficient. It started with a phone interview and I received an email the next day outlining when they would like me in for my in person interviews. I interviewed with 8 people in total. Everyone was super friendly and made the interview process less intimidating.

      Assistant Buyer Interview

      21 Nov 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Emeryville, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Grocery Outlet (Emeryville, CA) in Oct 2016

      Interview

      I applied online and was asked to do a video interview with prerecorded questions. It's a little impersonal but just do it because I found out later that most applicants didn't even bother finishing and the ones that did were put right at the top of the list. After a week and a half they contacted me to schedule an on site interview. What to expect: -1 Hour interview with Director for the team that you're applying for -30 min interview with Buyer(s) who you will be working with directly -30 min interview with Director of another team They have valet parking for visitors which is great. They'll offer you water when you check in at the front desk but don't drink it or else you'll need to use the restroom by your third interview. Their interview styles varied where some would try to get you off your script so they can see how you react while others were more willing to shoot the breeze. After a couple of days they called me with an offer.
