I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Chipotle (Columbus, OH) in May 2015
Interview
Applied online and was called in for an interview 20 minutes later for the next day. When I showed up to the interview I was asked to sit and wait and they gave me a free drink. Finally after 10 minutes of my scheduled time, the manager came out and questioned me. Then he told me he would pull my application and get in contact with me.

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
