I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Chipotle (Anaheim Hills, CA) in May 2015
Interview
I was called two days after I applied, and scheduled an interview two days after that. I was interviewed by the GM with two other girls. He spent the majority of time telling us about the location's goals to become a restauranteur. I was told that I would be contacted that night or the next morning. I was contacted 3 days later for a second interview with the manager, which I believe went well. However, 2 minutes after my interview ended, I got an automated email informing me that I was not hired.
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.

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
