I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Chipotle (Pittsford, NY) in Jun 2015
Interview
I came in for a first interview, which was with the general manager. He asked questions, I asked questions and we laughed. I was then invited in for a second one, with a different manager and one other crew member. It went well, so I got a call and came in for a third interview with the original general manager I met and a different other crew member. We chatted, laughed/joked around, and they excused themselves. When the general manager came back, he asked, "Do you still want to work here?" and I said Of course, and he said I got the job.
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.
Interview questions [1]

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
