I applied through other source. I interviewed at Noodles & Company (Denver, CO) in Feb 2026
Interview
Interview seemed uninformed to the logistics of the position and was difficult to communicate on the job needs. It was professional, but it just seemed very difficult to communicate and left the interview. Very confused as why I even had an interview.
