Interview
Overall the process takes about 3 weeks. I filled out an app online and got a call to come in for a group interview about a week later. The group interview is pretty easygoing just as long as you pay attention, ask questions, and try to be as witty as possible (they aren't looking for anyone "boring" so try to stand out). After a week, I got a call for the 1-on-1 interview which I have my tomorrow. There will be a drug test and (from what I hear) a fairly stringent background check.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In the group interview there wasn't anything to difficult. They want to see if you know about different types of foods, how well you work with people, and if you have a friendly personality. You'll be quizzed on several random different foods, but it's not necessary to answer correctly (but it definitely can give you an edge!)
Large group interview in a room where we all sat at the same table and had to answer the same questions which got repetitive and you didn't want it to sound like you were stealing someone else's answer

Interview
I haven't had an in person interview (yet), crossing my fingers, but so far, the application, and digital interview process has been easy and smooth! The Digital Interview itself is only 7 questions but before you start you have 2 practice questions. You get 2 attempts to answer the interview questions, and a chance to take breaks between each question. Even with my nerves, I think it went pretty well.

Question 1
I don't remember all of the questions but the won that stumped me was... they want to know about a time that you had to multitask, how did you handle it, and what was the outcome (did you successfully complete your objective) seeing that I multitask at everything I do, it was hard for me to think of one instance.
