I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Chipotle (Middletown, NY) in Jun 2014
Interview
I applied on the Chipotle website and received an email to come for an interview about 3 days later. The interview was okay, it was group interview with one other candidate, the manager, and two employees. I thought it was pretty unprofessional, the manager swore A LOT, and it was pretty awkward. I began to lose interest in this position from the behavior of the manager and the fact that when asked about our previous employers the other candidate brought up how cool her ex boss was because he was "chill" and smoked weed and the manager seemed pleased with that answer. At the end of the interview we were given a tour and met the crew and were told we'd get a call soon. It's been almost a week and still haven't heard anything and I'm pretty glad. I wouldn't recommend applying here.

I applied online. I interviewed at Chipotle (Bixby Knolls, CA) in Jul 2026
Interview
The interview was pretty easy, but I had to wait 30 to 40 minutes after my interview was scheduled to be interviewed. Inside the Chipotle, it was extremely hot and really uncomfortable, but other than that, the interview was pretty easy. But I haven’t heard back, as I was supposed to get a call on Sunday.

Question 1
They mainly asked me for my availability throughout the week, if I’m able to work weekends, what my good and bad qualities were, and that’s pretty much it and hobbies.
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.
