I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at ALDI in Feb 2012
Interview
Had a 1 on 1 interview that was very simple and lasted 20 minutes. After that I asked him the next step in the process and he invited me to a dinner that very night. The dinner ended up being a presentation for the full time interviewees that were interviewing tomorrow, so it was nice to be invited as an intern. It was two days ago so I won't hear back for a few weeks.
The process took 2 days. I interviewed at ALDI (Dwight, IL) in Mar 2011

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at ALDI (Indianapolis, IN) in Mar 2010
Interview
Had first interview on campus (30 minutes) with a current District Manager. Was invited to Indianapolis for second interview. Was given a tour of the office, warehouse and nearby Aldi store.
After the tour, there was a round of 6+ interviews with various directors and the vice president. Work culture seemed friendly, but I know District Managers work an absurd amount of hours. The company cars were very nice, though.
Mostly easy interview questions. 3 of the people I spoke with said they would "avoid the common questions," and proceeded to ask "common questions" anyways. The only weird one I got was: "What is the worst thing you've done you were never caught for." It's completely a trap...either seem like you're lying, or incriminate yourself.
Be sure you understand the DM job (I learned a lot on this website), and then curtail your experience towards how you're hard working, detail-oriented, organized, etc.
