I applied online. I interviewed at Chipotle (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
I went to the job fair and there was about ten people total including me, the manager told us how he runs the store and what he expects from a person, and also the history of Chipotle itself. We then got asked who inspired us the most and everyone had a turn, and once everyone went, the job fair was over. They told us they would be in contact within 48 hours but I never got an email or a phone call so I called them and they told me that I didn't get a second interview. It was very unprofessional to me that I waited over the time they said they'd be in contact to get nothing and to have to call to see if they declined me.
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
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
