I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Panda Express
Interview
The process took about a week and a half form the interview invite. First was in store, I spoke with the area supervisor and asked me basic questions, then the area supervisor's boss which focused more on my resume. Third was the panda preview which is basically working for 5 hours learning about the store's basic operations.

Other Assistant Manager interview reviews for Panda Express
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Panda Express in Apr 2025
Interview
I had interview with them for Assistant Manager position, unfortunately, the experience was not what i had hoped for. I was interviewed by 3 people, then after that, 1 more person joined the interview. And from the start, the atmosphere felt unwelcoming.
They seemed more focus on putting pressure on me than having a genuine conversation about my qualifications or potential fit for the team. It felt like they were trying to make the process unnecessarily difficult rather than trying to know me or explain the role.

Personal experience, skills, education, personal story
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Panda Express in Jun 2022
Interview
My first interview was soon after I applied mid-June. Through Zoom with HR. My second interview was at my local Panda with the general manager early July. I was told there would be a third interview, which I didn't mind, and even if I didn't pass the manager interview I would have a position as FOH. Third interview rescheduled numerous times and eventually done over Zoom with area manager mid-July. Interviewers were very nice, not a very hard or stressful interview. Was told I would hear decision from either interviewer in a few days. It is now the end of August. I've called, texted, and heard nothing. It felt like a massive waste of my time
