I applied through university. I interviewed at Burger King (Miami, FL)
Interview
Interviewed through college recruiting. Dropped off my resume at college fair, they reached out and encouraged me to apply online through their own website so I did. Received an phone call scheduling two phone interviews, one behavioural and one problem-solving. Behavioural was more about interest in Burger King (do your research on recent Tim Horton's acquisition!) and problem solving was one market sizing question, basic maths and other brain teasers.
I then received a call a few days later inviting me down for the final round in Miami. Involved a group business game, speed-dating-type interviews, two 20 minute cases before a cut. Half of the 22 or so people there were cut. The very last round was a group interview with several members of the executive board who asked tough questions they expected you to answer on the spot. You also should prepare a 1 minute presentation of why you would like to work for Burger King with a one sheet presentation aid.

I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Burger King
Interview
The interview process is almost exactly like what others have described on here. However, on the superday that I attended, there was only 2 parts: the business simulation game and panel interviews (if you were chosen to continue forward). They cut about 80% of the interviewees after lunch...some of which were REALLY smart kids from prestigious universities that seemed to do really well during the business simulation. I was chosen to continue forward to panel interviews with the other three candidates remaining.
My two cents about the business simulation: Clearly, based on observation, this company is not looking for the kid that can show off how impressive they are with numbers. They're also not looking for someone that is a rash decision maker, a loudmouth, or someone that would rather work alone than be open within a group setting. TALK through the simulation as much as you can. COLLABORATE with the other members. Ask them questions and make smart, rational decisions TOGETHER. Compliment other people's ideas, but don't be afraid to present your own. Notice how most of the reviews on here mention that the employees supposed to be observing you are on their phone. This is clearly a test. Although it may appear to be incredibly rude and distracting, ignore them and focus on how to showcase how well you work with a team because they're 100% listening and taking notes.
As for the panel, study the questions on Glassdoor, seriously. Every single question the C-level executives asked is featured here by some previous interviewee. Yes, they put you under pressure- it's clearly a test. Keep your cool and really show them how you rationally work through solving the brain teasers that they ask. If you don't know the answer to a question, they won't bite. A lot of these reviews make it seem like the panel executives were mean hearted and out to get you lol. They're actually really nice, and you could definitely tell they had a sense of humor. Play along with it and try to relax is all I can really say.
My best pieces of advice: 1. be yo self. 2. familiarize yourself with what to expect on superday so you don't have a panic attack when you're answering rapid fire questions.
They asked me questions about my primary school, like the biggest challenge, best memories... Same questions for high school, and related to past experiences. The interviewer will stay in silence the whole process but to ask questions, not very friendly
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Burger King (Miami, FL) in Dec 2017
Interview
It's a pretty long interview process.
My first interview was via Skype with a current employer (who actually attended my university). It was all behavioral with the general "why BK?" question here and there. Oddly, most of the questions are about your high school experiences, so be prepared for that throwback.
Second interview is another Skype interview with a different employee. It was a case interview and mine was about pricing strategies. There is no specific right answer, you just need to backup your logic and talk out loud while thinking.
If you make it past those two rounds, then you are invited for their Superday on site. It will be a mixture of students applying for full time and for the internship. My super day had 15 students and they supposed have one every 2 weeks for the Fall Semester, so they have a lot. The first half of my day was a business simulation where we worked in groups of fives. There are observers at your table watching how you interact and it is very easy who the leaders are during this process. After that, you will break for lunch and tour.
This is the awkward part... After lunch they will call you out 2-by-2 to send you home. Luckily, I moved on and could participate in the final final round - the crossfire. A crossfire is when you sit with the other students who made it to the final round and you are asked a whole bunch of random questions to catch you off guard. There really isn't a way to prepare for that. Just be honest and confident.
