I interviewed at Chipotle (Atlanta, GA) in Jun 2021
Interview
Got a call from manager on when to schedule interview. You then meet with manager for 15-20 minutes at later date and they ask interview questions. Usually does not last too long and they will also review your schedule availability. You should be good, just make sure to practice and review your answers prior!
