I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Chipotle (Raleigh, NC) in Dec 2014
Interview
Basic interview questions and mainly it's them talking about the history of the company. They're going to ask you why you want to work there and why they should hire you. They're looking for people who love to work with others and are great with customers. They stress that you must always smile while at work.
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.

Question 1
Explain a time when you handled an upset customer?
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
