Kitchen Staff at Burger King
Accepted Offer – Reviewed Apr 15, 2013
Interview Details – The process of being hired for me was an interesting circumstance. I was hired at age 16 and I actually turned my application in through the drive through window in which they asked me to come in and begin working at that very moment. The process of interviewing was not much since I'm guessing they figured since I had the initiative to turn in my application through the drive through then I must have good work ethic.
Interview Question – The manager asking me to come in and begin work the instant I handed in my application. View Answer

Cashier at Burger King
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Folsom, CA Mar 2013 – Reviewed Mar 27, 2013
Interview Details – The strangest and easiest interview I've ever had. First, the manager forgot about our scheduled interview and wasn't there. I ended up having just a short conversation with the shift manager about my experience and availability. She took my resume and said she would have the manager call me later that day. He didn't, so I called him the next day. He apologized and asked if I could come in on Thurs. I said sure. When I went back to the BK, the young lady behind the counter handed me a large packet of paperwork to fill out. I asked if I was being offered a job. She said I had the job. The manager came out while I was filling out papers and introduced himself. When I was done, he entered everything into the computer, including the background check, and I started work the next day.
Interview Question – No real interview questions. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – No negotiation; minimum wage

Analyst at Burger King
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Miami, FL – Reviewed Mar 24, 2013
Interview Details –
All hiring is outsourced and they often have misleading or incorrect information about the positions. Salary and other compensation is often lied about. Check your offer letter and don't take any verbal promises.
Corporate human resources is literally run by a bunch of inexperienced kids (new trainees) and they are not equipped to handle your complex HR issues.
Interview Question – Can't remember it was run of the mill . Pay attention and read between the lines when they describe the 3G corporate culture. When you have the face to face interview in Miami, take time to observe the face and demeanor of everyone who actually works there. View Answer
Negotiation Details – No negotiation but they will feed you a bunch of stories about rapid promotions and other misleading information.

Burger King Management Trainee Program at Burger King
No Offer – Reviewed Mar 19, 2013
Interview Details – Contacted for 30 minute phone interview- mostly behavioral questions i.e. tell me about a time you had to get in someone's face. Afterwards, scheduled for a quantitative interview. Interviewer asked to describe supply and demand to a child and then asked a market-sizing question. NOT your typical quant interview but more like a case-in-point/consulting interview. Very unexpected/wasn't prepared for that.
