I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Chipotle (Pittsburg, CA) in Feb 2013
Interview
I had a group interview the first go around. I got a 2nd interview a week later, she liked me and I interviewed again the same day with a third manager and referred that I meet with the 4th manager the following day. The 4th manager liked me and I had to meet with the GM the next day for a one on one, which was great interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All the questions were general. Just be yourself, smile. express how much you're looking to grow within the company, and how much you love working as a team.
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.
