started normal then...LANDMARK FORUM!!!
They essentially mandate you take your own time and dime to participate in the Landmark Forum before you can be considered for final interviews. 2 days off during the weekday and an entire weekend plus $500 fee ("discounted" Panda rate).
I'm all for self improvement, but mandating this to interviewees so that they can give feedback to Panda management seems a little "off" and may be viewed as a conflict of interest (does the Cherng family have some sort of equity in Landmark?) At least a conflict of interest if not economic discrimination. If a single parent on one income can't afford to take 2 days off of work and pay the fee they don't get considered? Shame on you Panda. Figure out a less discriminatory interview method. Cancelled my interview thank goodness.
