I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Chipotle (Flower Mound, TX) in Jul 2015
Interview
Came in for two interviews. The first was with a general manager, a few employees, and a kitchen manager. The second time, I spoke with another manager and was shown around. They were all extremely friendly and were really just trying to get to know me. Make sure you know the "Food With Integrity" policy and the "13 Characteristics" of a Chipotle employee.
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
