Interviewed Feb 2012 in Sandy, UT (took a day)
I applied online and several weeks later they called me in for an interview. While I was waiting they gave me a free drink. The manager was very distracted and rude the whole time he interviewed me. When he asked me a question he would figet looking around the room. I also told him I had 6 years experience working with food and he told me I didn't have enough experience. He said they always do 2 interviews to make it fair and I would recieve a call in a couple of days to interview with another manager- they never called me in for another interview but they did call me to tell me they hired somebody else.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Colorado Springs, CO (took a day)
I actually set out to find my first job which ended up being Noodles and Company. I had read books on interviewing, had a resumé with me, dress shirt on, and set out. Before even applying I had decided that I would not work in the fast food industry (except Starbucks). Yet, I had never interviewed before so I figured I would stop at a store (Noodles) just to burn an interview for experience. I had never actually eaten there prior to the interview so was impressed when I entered to see an unfamiliar, welcoming setting. I noticed the employees laughing as I smelled fresh (non greasy) food being prepared fresh in front of me. A cheerful employee greeted me with what seemed genuine happiness and after asking for an interview she said, "Sure!" So, I was offered a free drink, sat down with her and was interviewed. After about 30 minutes the general manager came over, asked me 3 questions, more or less and said, "Alright, I'm going to bring you on with us." I was shocked and excited. Right there, he told me to formally apply online, but the job was mine and then gave me a tour of the facility and introduced me to the still laughing and joking employees. It was a prefect first impression and reversed my "non-fast food" decision instantly.

Negotiation Details
Being this was my first interview and job I was asked what salary I would like and given my experience I didn't actually push as hard as I could have there. Be genuine and be fun, from there then try to negotiate.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Aurora, CO (took 1 week)
The first interview was fairly easy. However, the first impression Noodles & Co. made was terrible; the manager that was supposed to interview me was fifteen minutes late. In addition her focus was on everything but the interview so it seemed rushed. She asked basic questions about my past places of work, school activities, etc. Then she sent her assistant manager over to also interview me. The same questions were asked and forty-five minutes later the interview was complete.
They called me for a second interview within a week of my first interview and asked me to come in the next day for another interview at three. I arrived fifteen minutes early while the manager who was supposed to interview me was behind the front counter. I waited until three-fifteen and went back up to the front counter to see what was going on and she said she was waiting for her other manager to arrive to interview me. By three-thirty I was still sitting around waiting, so I decided to leave and told them I had to go. They said they would reschedule my interview, but I had no intention of interviewing with them again. Safe to say that I wouldn't want a job offer anyway since they seem so unorganized.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Broomfield, CO (took 3 weeks)
I apply in November 2010, knowing that I would get a interview but didn't know when, but they already knew me because I was working there as a volunteer, I quit volunteer work in December. Got a interview in January, I went to my interview and I was interviewed by GM and shift manager that is one now but back then wasn't one, interview went fine and I was told that I would be call either way, for a second interview or to tell me if I got job or not. I called again a week later but manger was busy then with another interview, a week after that I got a call offering me a job. Sometimes it does take patience to see if you got job.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Hillsboro, OR (took a day)
Showed up for a job fair which consisted of several 1:1 interviews throughout the day. I was asked if I had eaten there before, why I was applying for the position, what the last restaurant I had eaten at was, how I would describe the service at said restaurant, and why.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Fox Point, WI (took 2 weeks)
I got a phone call a few weeks after I applied online and I went in for my appointment.
When I told the woman what I came in for, she said she was the manager and had no idea that I was scheduled to be in that day. She gave me a cup and told me to get myself a drink and sit down at a table in the restaurant. She came and sat across from me and we had the interview; it was very quick and easy. She then told me that I would get a call in about a week to talk about a second interview.
A week passed and I got no phone call, so I called the restaurant and I asked for the manager by name. The girl who answered the phone had no idea who I was talking about, so I asked her to put me on with someone who did. The next person I talked to said the manager was on vacation, and to call back in 2 days. I called back when specified and talked to the manager and she told me that she has been on vacation and had no time to talk to the HR person about setting up a second interview. She said she'd call me back in a couple days and now it's been at least 2 weeks and I haven't heard back. So i've given up on Noodles.

Interviewed Feb 2008 in Wheaton, IL (took a day)
Basic interview. The manager was 'out of it'. Mostly just trying to get an idea of your personality.

Interviewed Jun 2008 (took 2 days)
the interview was pretty standard, i was interviewed by a shift manager for the first interview.
Questions he asked were:
What do you go to school for
Whats your gpa
What activities do you do
what are your interests/what do you do in your spare time
how would you handle an angry customer
why do you want to work here at noodles
it's fairly standard, no tricks or anything
I got called back for a second interview, which was with the GM of the place. It was basically a "what days and times are you available" not much of an interview, more like a "when you can you start" kinda thing.
