The Wing Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was really put together well. I started with a phone call with a recruiter, which was pretty standard. Then, I had a half-day round-robin session where I interviewed with several people. They asked about 30 very specific questions across three interviews. While I get that they want to be ethical, I felt like they were looking for really narrow answers and not really open to different ways of thinking about things. Everything seemed to go well, and I had good chats, but then they just ghosted me and never got back to me, not even to say no. It was kinda funny lol.

My first call was with the recruiter, who was really nice and knew a lot about the role. She seemed to really like my background and even asked if I’d be interested in the same job but in a different state, which I said I was open to. A couple of weeks after that, I had what was supposed to be a video chat with the hiring manager. When I logged on at the scheduled time, I saw a message saying the interviewer was in another meeting. Eventually, she called me directly. She said she was having tech issues with the video platform, so I suggested we try again. She turned down the offer and said we could just talk on the phone, even though the link I used ended up working fine. It would have been better if she’d just said she was running late from another meeting. That was just the start of a terrible interview. She started by asking why I wanted to work there. After I answered, she asked what I'd heard about the company in the news lately. Before I could even respond, she interrupted and said, 'and I hope you're not looking it up on the internet because I know what's on there'! I was shocked by how rude she was and her aggressive tone. After I gave my answer, she immediately asked if I had any questions for her. She didn't even try to get to know me or my experience, which made me think she felt threatened by my qualifications. I realized right away that this wasn't a place I'd want to work. If she was going to be a leader there, the company's morale was going to be terrible. Seriously, read all the reviews and make sure you know what you're getting into before applying. For a company that claims to empower and respect women, they really didn't show that during my interview.

I had several phone interviews and was given an assignment to complete. Communication was really bad between interviews, and I often had to chase them after a couple of weeks to find out what was happening next. They originally said they wanted to hire someone within a month, but it took almost two months and I was still interviewing. The worst part was that after I finished all the interviews and the assignment, I just got a generic rejection email from recruiting, with nothing from the hiring manager. It felt really disrespectful considering how much time I invested talking with the team.

It was a pretty standard interview process for a hospitality/restaurant service job. Two managers talked to me about my experience. They asked a couple of questions, but it was mostly conversational. They also asked about my availability. I got a phone offer a week later and got the job.
