The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Panda Express (Saint Louis, MO) in Jan 2012
Interview
I applied to general manager position and next day they called me. I wasnt available to talk at that time and went to panda express store to have an interview in person. she was so kind. then they called me for second interview. then third and last one was panda preview.
I dont like their interview process, they were not professional. during panda interview I met the general manager of the store. he was supposed to teach me some stuff and show me how to make fired rice etc. but his english was awful. I really dont get how he got the job. one of the requirements of the job is to teach and lead people. so he doesn't have any of this.
I am sure I was pretty good at interview process but I didnt get any offer.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Panda Express (Burien, WA) in Oct 2024
Interview
Lengthy conversation with Training Manager and Area Manager. May be invited to working interview with trainer to show off skills. Job offer after if you are acceptable. Area Manager looked like they needed sleep and was very unenthusiastic. The training manager seemed upbeat and eager to interview. Debra Lee is a joke. You will be bombarded with questions, it doesn't matter how you answer, Debra decided when you sat down.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are your 3 main values? How do you achieve these in your daily life? Standard questions and then weirdly invasive ones.

Interview
There are three interviews: 1. Hiring HR; 2. Area Manager; 3. Onsite preview They are very efficient, the whole process only took 7-10 days, and they expect you to make the decision soon.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Panda Express (Greendale, WI) in Sept 2023
Interview
Good interview process so far. Couple of interview then they do a hands on w lariat ion in store. After that they do final interview with Regional operations manager. It seems like a lot but they seem to want only top talent.
