I applied in-person. I interviewed at sweetgreen (New York, NY) in Aug 2025
Interview
Spoke about the foundation of the company. Very in depth interview. Solid opening and closing. Made me consider working full time although I’m a student. Wasn’t concerned with the attire I was wearing and didn’t judge the style of my hair.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at sweetgreen (Arlington, VA) in May 2019
Interview
Applied through the website and was Emailed the very same day asking if I could come in for an interview 2 days from then. Before the interview I was handed a piece of paper to fill out asking about my availability and experience. Next to the availability box there was a note saying “open availability” or lack of will affect the hiring decision. I had a lot of availability which was helpful. The rest of the paper listed things I’ll be required to do/use on the job (cash register, industrial kitchen equipment, commercial dishwashing, use of a chef’s knife, preparing food) and asked whether or not I had 0, 1, 2, or 3+ years of experience with each one. Thankfully I had at least 1 year of experience with all of them. I was asked only two really basic, easy interview questions then was hired on the spot.
