You could either sign up on their website and get the dates on there, or you may do a walk in, completely up to you if you do the research. No matter, you walk in a sign up for a interview. You can sit anywhere in the restaurant and one of the hiring managers or a member under panda express officials will sit with you and ask you some questions. The questions are rather easy if you not only know basic interview questions but know yourself when they throw some curve ball questions. Once the interview is over in about 10 or so minutes, they will contact you in about 3-5 business days.

Question 1
When did you have a customer complaint at your previous jobs (schools or any particular experience) that you were able to handle?
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Panda Restaurant Group in Jun 2024
Interview
This interview process was very long and ultimately a waste of my time, The hiring team had poor communication and overall, their interview process needs work. The interviewers should definitely go through training and be more knowledgeable and considerate to those that experienced layoffs during COVID-19 and companies that suffered due to it. I have never felt so disappointed with an interview process in my 8 years of recruiting/interviewing. I was told my work history showed no loyalty when it's been quite the opposite. I felt like my character was being questioned when instead they should have shown empathy to someone who's unfortunately been laid off due to companies not being able to survive. Instead of asking questions, assumptions were made. I also got ghosted after my 3rd round of interviews, when I was told in my 3rd interview I would be getting a final interview. If you changed your mind and find someone who is a better fit, I'm all for it. Don't say it, unless you mean it. After reaching out multiple times, I finally received a generic decline with no feedback as to what happened or why. This was a blessing in disguise, I would never want to work for a company who belittles me and questions my loyalty.
