I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Chipotle (Glendale, AZ) in Feb 2014
Interview
They did a group interview outside which consisted of myself and about 6-8 other people. The three managers talked about themselves and how they got started there and what they do as a job. They said they're looking for people they could see themselves promoting to managers which didn't make sense if you barely worked there for 3-6 months or less. They made me feel like I didn't have a chance of getting the job in the first place because they were judging to see if you had the "13 characteristics",what you told them about yourself,and it felt like a contest to see who could outshine the other.

Question 1

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.
