I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Chipotle (Gainesville, FL) in May 2015
Interview
Interview process was unique, and under better circumstances could have been a positive experience. There are four managers at this particular location, and I interviewed with all of them on separate days; then I was interviewed by the crew (or a chunk of the crew). I was asked the same questions each day and given the same spiel every time. The multiple days and same questions were only a slight annoyance because of the possible light at the end of the tunnel (a job); however on the second day myself and a handful of other applicants were forced to sit for over an hour in the restaurant waiting on a manager to conduct the same interview which lasted 45 seconds per applicant. I like how the interview process involves and requires (at least on the surface) all members of the crew and management. But this treatment of potential applicants was not exactly great foreshadowing for how the company treats their employees. It was embarrassing for myself and the other applicants and I am very surprised no one walked out.
Easy, straight forward questions. Started as a group interview and ended up being offered the job along with 2 other people. It was very casual and no pressure. Interviewer was friendly.

I applied online. I interviewed at Chipotle (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2026
Interview
Very brief, was only asked a few questions. I felt a decision about not hiring me was made before the interviewer even sat down. I suspect the interviewer was not accustomed to interviewing and may actually only standing in for a manager that was not working that day
