I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Panda Express (Honolulu, HI) in May 2014
Interview
I went through two different interview sessions. One with the store manager and another interview with the district manager. Overall, it was an easy process for me. With the store manager, it only took about 15 minutes. With the district manager, it took about 30-45 minutes but only because there was a lot of story telling rather than actual interview questions.

Store Manger:
"Tell me about yourself"
"Based on your resume, you participated in community service. What did you do?"
"What do you do outside of work."
District Manager:
"How do you deal with upset customers?"
"What is your biggest weakness and how would you overcome that fear?"
"Where do you see yourself in the next few years?"
I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Panda Express (Las Vegas, NV) in June 2016

Manager called me in for a quick interview. Easy and casual questions. More so a conversation that strict style interview. Very relaxed. I ended up getting the job the next day and started working right off the bat.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Panda Express (Fayetteville, AR) in Jan 2016
Interview
I applied online. Got an interview at the restaurant location within that same week. The manager that interviewed me acted like she hated her job and didn't put in any effort to seem enthusiastic. It was an uncomfortable interview but I accepted the offer anyway because I needed the money.
