I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Panda Express
Interview
The interview with the group panel went very well. The panel was very prepared, and gracious. Ultimately, I was eliminated from consideration due to not having a bachelor's degree. I wish they would have shared the education requirement upfront, It would have saved a lot of aggregate time for all of us.
