I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Tysons Corner, VA)
Interview
The manager barely asked any questions and didn’t let any opportunity for me to ask questions. The interview didn’t last more than 5 minutes and the manager didn’t seem to take interest in who I was or why I wanted the job. It was a big red flag for me
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Edison, NJ) in Mar 2022
Interview
Went smoothly. Sat with Gm for about 30 min. Got hired that day. They told me someone would set me up with training. Training was a week long. Very detailed training process. They have you try most of the food and desserts.
