I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Darden (Columbus, OH) in Mar 2013
Interview
Incredibly easy interview and super relaxed. Came in and met with every manager for about 5-10 minutes each. Asked me typical interview questions and wanted to know about previous experience. More interested in my schedule and making sure I was flexible than with my actual skills. All the managers were very laid back and I had two friends who worked there as well so it was easy.
