I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Panda Express
Interview
It was very easy, just answer honestly since they are hiring they want to hire anyone that shows they will be a good employee. Don't try to move up in management, unless you want to stay with the company for 5+ years, they will make you bend over backwards for them.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Panda Express (Norwalk, CA) in Nov 2014
Interview
I talked with the manager and upper management at a booth in the restaurant. I talked with the big boss first, then the manager joined in. Other interviews I've seen when I worked were just with the manager.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Panda Express (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
It was an average interview about 15 minutes long. Not too critical, but they ask a good questions. I had a second interview with the district manager, and she was very nice.
