Interview
I went to career fair in my school and talked to panda's employee. They let me did a short interview with them then they asked me to apply online. After I applied, I got a mail from HR decided a date for phone interview. She made an appointment with me but she was late. We re schedule couple times then finally got a chance to do the interview.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Panda Express (Minneapolis, MN) in Feb 2015
Interview
Applied online, and was interviewed on the phone by Panda recruiter. She was friendly & excited about Panda, which is a good sign of a company. I was scheduled to meet with the Area Coach of Operations (ACO) in one of the Panda stores a few days later. The following week I had an interview with the Regional Coach of Operations. About a week later, an invitation for a Panda Preview at one of the Panda stores. The Panda Preview lasted about four hours, where I was shown the very basics of the store operations. In the end of the preview, there was a feedback/comment session with ACO/Training Leader and the manager of the store. A background check procedure was conducted (4 days), before I was offered the job.

Interview
Contacted by a recruiter online, proceeded to a phone interview which I thought went really well then went on to meet with three area managers for face-to-face interview. The face-to-face went well, the interviewers were really nice and pleasant to talk to. I was shocked to hear that these area managers had to drive to store visits without getting their gas or mileage reimbursed. Anyhow, I didn't get the job which was probably my reluctant to possibly relocate from San Francisco.
