I applied online. I interviewed at sweetgreen (New York, NY)
Interview
I interviewed with multiple people after waiting for about fifteen minutes. Interviewer was asking us both questions and answering at the same time in a mildly chaotic way. It was a little awkward as the interviewer seemed to make a personality judgement after about 5 minutes, leaving the two of us answering a roll of bored questions with no follow up or attention paid. which is fair, but yeah, awkward.

Interview
I had a phone interview, then a zoom interview, finished with an in-person interview. It took over 3 weeks and I had to constantly reach out to them on my application status. After my finial in-person interview, I mentioned I had other employment offers on the table and would like a quick response as they asked me if I had other offers. They said they would reach out within a couple days but it took them over a week to respond to let me know they selected another person.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at sweetgreen (Boston, MA) in Aug 2019
Interview
You pretty much go through two phone interviews and a first meeting. They are quick to get in contact with you but when they said their response time is 24hr it was 3 weeks later.
I would not waste my time there again ever.
When you are in the first 1:1 interview they put you to follow the team even though you havent accept the job yet.
