I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Chipotle (Chico, CA) in Jul 2015
Interview
I applied for the crew member position online and received an email within a few days asking me to come in for an interview. It was a group interview with the managers. They asked us the basic Chipotle interview questions. It was a relatively easy interview if you have reviewed Chipotle's company mission and background.
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.

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
