I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Chipotle (Fairfield, CT) in Jun 2012
Interview
Got an invitation to come in for an interview. I showed up and there was about 4 or 5 people waiting. Senior manager interviewed us one on one and the GM would be in and out of the interviews. Narrowed it down to a 3 people from all the other groups they interviewed. Called and offered job as well as sent an email.
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
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
The interview process included an application, attending a brief in-person interview, answering questions about teamwork, availability, customer service, and attitude, and was sometimes followed by a same-day or quick hiring decision.
