I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Topgolf (Ontario, CA) in May 2024
Interview
After applying online I was called and emailed to be invited to their "Mission Ambission". The interview was a long process about 4 hours. There was probably about 100 people interviewing at one time. They did activities that asked the entire group to think about and answer some questions. There were current employees and managers walking around taking notes about applicants. I was split into a group of 5 people. The group was separated from the large group to do a series of interviews. There was one group interview, and two one-on-one interviews each taking about 3 minutes.

Question 1
What did you enjoy about bartending at your previous job?
Easy mostly a group interview and the accepted everyone due to the need. They always need bartenders because they are the most over worked and at least paid in my opinion

Simple customer service questions that usually occurred during service and other things that included personality and they did a quick job training as well
Group interview. Tests your skills and personality. Pulled out 5 at a time and asked questions then. Lots of people taking notes. Deliberations happen night of. Decisions come the day after.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Topgolf (Richmond, VA) in Apr 2025
Interview
The in-person interview is like the first day of camp. It takes 3 - 4 hours and imv9lves a lot 9f call and response. Picture pep rally vibes. You are one of 20+ people who are all there for different positions. Divided into groups of 4 - 6 people, you play icebreaker games. It was very strange especially for an interview.
