Interview Process

Interviews will either take place on campus or at a Starbucks office location. On-campus interviews are about an hour long and, for applicable roles, include an at-home coding assignment. For off-campus recruiting, the process is as follows:

1. Initial Phone Screen

The first step of the process is a brief phone interview to get a better sense of your background and interests.

2. In-Person Interview

The next step is an onsite interview at their headquarters or other office location where candidates will meet with the HR director and the managers of the programs hosting summer interns. Altogether, it should take about 30 to 45 minutes.
