The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Five Guys (Burbank, CA) in Jan 2025
Interview
Was reached out through email for an interview and met in person. Straight forward interview involving questions and asking about scheduling and hours of availability. Was a pretty simple interview in all
Multiple people (40+) in a large hotel conference room, doing irrelevant tasks such as plasticine modelling a burger. No real test for aptitude to working in a kitchen. Hard to communicate with interviewers apart from brief one on one section with generic questions
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Five Guys (Tucson, AZ)
Interview
Very casual but misleading because they said I was hired but never reached back out. Took my information and said they would text about first shift and even filled out i9
Easy, simple meeting with the manager where we just talked about my life, why I wanted to work there, along with the other info stuff like citizenship, pay structure etc.
