I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Chipotle (Roseville, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
Received a phone call for an interview and was also informed that it will be of the group premise. Initially, I was told there would be around 4 other interviewees attending, however more showed up the longer we've waited. The environment was generally boisterous. Crew members of the morning shift didn't seem particularly mindful that an interview was taking place. On top of that, the music was blaring to the point where we were forced to speak up in order to be heard over it. The manager asked basic questions which helped participants divulge information about their general history. Other questions involved why we would like to work at Chipotle, whether or not we had work experience, our availability, and so forth. The interview lasted for about 20 minutes. After that, we were dismissed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All the questions were simple enough to respond to easily. But, it never hurts to prepare beforehand by rehearsing possible answers.
Asked questions about what positions work best for you, why you want to work there, what makes you a good fit there, where you see yourself in 5 years. Very simple and open to answer any questions I had

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

Interview
I scheduled an interview, but when I arrived the first time the manager was not there, so I had to reschedule. At the second interview, I waited about 10–15 minutes before the manager was ready. The interview itself was short, around 10 minutes, and mostly consisted of behavioral questions read from a sheet. Overall, the process felt disorganized and not very personal, but the questions were straightforward.
