I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Chipotle (Bakersfield, CA) in Jun 2015
Interview
I applied online and got a call the same day to schedule an interview. A couple days later (2 days) I went in, told the cash register person I was there for an interview and sat down to wait. It was a group interview with 5 other people being interviewed also. The actual interview was very informal, we told jokes and went around and introduced ourselves. Also a crew member was there with the manager and told of her experience as a crew member.

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
