I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Roseville, CA)
Interview
The interviews themselves aren't bad and the people are nice, but the process is extremely slow. I applied in late September, did 2 interviews on October (2 weeks apart from each other), and was reject on Halloween. I had to schedule the interviews myself and they forgot I was already interviewed with them.
