I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sodexo
Interview
It started with a phone screening, followed by an interview with hiring manager and finally a panel.
They provided lots of info to detail what they were looking for.
The whole process took about a month. They were fast at negotiating salary.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
All scripted questions of the behavioral kind.
Tell me a time when you had to deal with a difficult coworker and how you resolved the issue.
Very respectful and welcoming interviewers, They definitely seemed like career Sodexo heads, A lot of Kool-Aid on their lips, but they didn’t come across as insincere. If if they could’ve matched my current salary, I probably would’ve taken the job.
Very structured and oddly formal panel interview with 4 people. It lasted an hot and 15 minutes and appeared scripted/rehearsed. Lots of cliche ‘tell me about a time’ type questions.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Sodexo (Washington, DC) in Dec 2023
Interview
One of the worst interview experiences in a while. I applied and then a month and half later I was contacted by the recruiter. After that interview, it took them almost three weeks to get back to me on next steps. I completed what I was told is the final interview right before XMAS, but then they wanted to speak to me again two days after XMAS. It took them three additional weeks to make a decision, and they hired the internal candidate. Why did an executive in the company waist my time, when they knew they were going to hire the internal candidate?
