The interview process was pretty simple and not too long. They asked me about my past experience in jobs where I dealt with customers. They also asked common interview questions about how I'd deal with problems with customers or coworkers.

The whole application was handled by AI, and when I showed up at the restaurant, the manager didn't even know I was coming because the AI automatically scheduled interviews without their confirmation. I learned right when I sat down that they were fully staffed and not hiring. So, from applying to getting ready for the interview and then going there, it was all a waste of my time.

The interview process was super long and kinda repetitive. We had a basic screening call first, then I met with the hiring manager/team and HR. I went through 4 interviews and only after that did someone look at my resume, which is crazy cause some interviewers admitted they hadn't even seen it before we talked.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Can you describe how your personal values align with those of Restaurant Brands International?
  • Could you share an instance where you made an error and explain the steps you took to manage the situation?
