I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Chipotle (Cypress, CA) in Sept 2014
Interview
First interview is the group interview. Come in with a big smile and a positive attitude. make lots of eye contact, the GM's really appreciate that. If they like you they will call you in for a second and third interview. These interviews, are one on one with the current team. Again make lots of eye contact, have a big smile, and a winning attitude. If the team likes you the GM will welcome you to the team, and start your hiring process.

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
