I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Chipotle (Roseville, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
Received a phone call for an interview and was also informed that it will be of the group premise. Initially, I was told there would be around 4 other interviewees attending, however more showed up the longer we've waited. The environment was generally boisterous. Crew members of the morning shift didn't seem particularly mindful that an interview was taking place. On top of that, the music was blaring to the point where we were forced to speak up in order to be heard over it. The manager asked basic questions which helped participants divulge information about their general history. Other questions involved why we would like to work at Chipotle, whether or not we had work experience, our availability, and so forth. The interview lasted for about 20 minutes. After that, we were dismissed.

Question 1
All the questions were simple enough to respond to easily. But, it never hurts to prepare beforehand by rehearsing possible answers.
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.
