I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Chipotle (West Covina, CA) in Jul 2013
Interview
So I applied at Chipotle and the very next day I got an email for an interview the following week. The day before the interview, I checked online to see if anything had been posted and my job offer status had been put to not selected for employment which I found strange since I had the interview the next day. When I arrived at Chipotle there were about fifteen other people there already. By the time the interviews started there were about twenty of us. They split us up into two groups and we had two people interviewing each group. They sat us down and passed around a clip board for everybody to sign. They then asked questions about the company, like who started it and what else we knew. It was very difficult to answer since everybody would reply at the same time. They then talked about the job offered and about the company. They never took the time to really get to know anybody and they had no way of remembering who was who. My group interview was over in less than twenty minutes. The other group, however, took longer and I believe that those are the people who got the job offers since it seemed like the interviewers took more time with each person. I believe that the people selected for the job had already been chosen prior to the interview which was just a waste of time for the others that had not been selected.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They only asked a few simple questions. None were too hard.
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.
