I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Gjelina in Apr 2017
Interview
Spoke with hiring manager, senior management, HR and toured the restaurants in the group. Highly conversational and not "structured" questions that flowed naturally & allowed me to gain insight into the different personalities of my hiring superiors. My attire was casual. I felt they were trying to place my values and personality more than my experience.
