I applied online. I interviewed at Panda Restaurant Group (Rosemead, CA)
Interview
I had the worst Interview Process at their corporate office in Rosemead, CA. The recruiter was on her phone texting and using her computer during the interview. The other interviewers didn't know what position I had applied for. Also, the hiring manager was not even in the interview. They had three other people from different departments that interviewed me. They did ask some good questions, but other than that, I think they were just pulled into the interview just because. They weren't even people that this position would be working with. It was very unprofessional as the other interviews were whispering back and forth with each other. You would think since the recruiter works in Human Resources, that she would have been more personable and respectful. It's sad to see this large, well-known company employ such people. One of their Values are Respect/Win-Win, but I definitely did not see that in their employees. I don't plan on ever re-applying for positions to this company.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Panda Restaurant Group

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Panda Restaurant Group
Interview
Applied online. I was contacted by HR after a week of applying. He asked to speak with me over the phone. The interview was informal. I applied to two similar positions within Panda. He was trying to understand my career goal. He said I was overqualified for the positions I applied for and would check to see if there are any other openings that would be a better fit for me. He followed up with me the next day, but there was nothing that would be a good fit for me.
