I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Gordon Food Service | Service Alimentaire Gordon (Atlanta, GA) in July 2022
Interview
Straight forward, two interviews, communicated well with process. No huge lapses in process, all was very smooth and prompt. A lot of situational questions requiring you to pull experiences from your past and provide explanation of how you handled and the result.
I applied in-person. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Gordon Food Service | Service Alimentaire Gordon (New York, NY) in May 2017
Interview
It was a long process, which included an over the phone interview, and 3 separate interviews. The whole process from start to finish took about 3 months. Even though it was a long process, I believe it was well worth it. I got the chance to meet several people within the company during the interviews. I felt extremely comfortable and confident even though I was beyond nervous. They don't make it feel like they're better than you, and they don't try to scare you like the other food service companies do. After interviewing with other companies, I see how much more personable Gordon's is compared to the rest. I highly recommend this company.
