I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Chipotle (Clovis, CA) in Jul 2021
Interview
I was called to arrange an interview, I walked into the building and was told that the interviewer was not yet arrived. I came in about 5-10 minutes early so I knew i would need to wait, but I was still waiting 20 minutes past my scheduled interview.
Called into office to discuss my resume and career background and talked about skillset and how I could contribute to the team with that skill set. I thought it was a nice interview and we got to know each other.

Interview
You get screened by AI first, then they give u time slots for availability. You pick from one and then they'll email you if they decide to interview you or not. It feels a bit impersonal, and I didn't mind it too much but it felt super detatched.
