I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Chipotle (Phoenix, AZ) in Mar 2015
Interview
I submitted an application online and 2 days later received an email to attend an interview. The interview was scheduled the next day after the email was received. The interview started late because we had to wait for the interviewers to be ready. I was interviewed with a group of people. There were 4 applicants being interviewed and 3 employees conducting the interview. Only the manager asked questions while the other 2 just listened. One question was asked and we all took turns answering. It lasted about 20 minutes. We were told at the end of the interview that they would let us the next day if we would be called back for a second interview. They said the second interview would be done by the crew and would be all about Chipotle.
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
