I applied through other source. I interviewed at Chipotle (Salem, OR)
Interview
Basic interview questions but with questions like “if you were an animal what kind would you be and why” and “what’s your dream vacation spot.” They clearly have a script to follow and try to make it seem like everyone who interviews will get the jobs when they usually aren’t actually hiring.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you were a burrito ingredient which one would you be and why?
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.
