Interviewed Sep 2009 (took 2+ weeks)
Very informal. The hiring manager was open to discuss background without doing the classic "tell me about yourself", but there is a huge emphasis on food service experience, so if you don't have it you had better have some related experience, because that is their deal breaker. Salary was not an issue. The phone screen took 15 minutes and the face to face interview took 2 hours, so you would think that moving to the next stage would have been a formality, but not so.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Fredericton, NB (Canada) (took 2 weeks)
Exceptional company, both in the facilities and people. Initial interview with SVP (after recruiter), very knowledgeable and great to talk to. Focused on where company was going, advantages, change in direction, strategic plans, how it will be delivered; discussed people management, culture, location, benefits. Met with CIO, direct, to the point. Then spoke to head of HR - from the region and very nice person.
Met with team and very engaged group.

Reason for Declining
