The interview process was quick and tailored for student workers at the university. However, the paperwork took a few days longer than usual, and communication between departments and branches wasn't the best, making the processing inefficient.

Behavioral Technical

The whole interview process felt very degrading and disrespectful, like they thought they were superior. They even questioned my past cooking experience, and when I mentioned previous restaurants, they dismissed it as 'not cooking'.

Behavioral Technical Coding Presentation

The interview involved an oral portion, a written test, and a cooking bench test. They asked a lot of questions about what I did in previous jobs. Having catering experience is a plus. There was also a math test. I felt the interview process was pretty easy; if you're prepared, you'll do fine.

Confirmed questions4 questions

  • Tell me about your past responsibilities.
