I applied online to this position since there was a Chipotle opening up soon nearby where I live. During the first interview, I was interviewed by 3 managers. Two from stores around the area and one was going to be the manger for the new store. I was nervous upon learning over 200 people had already come in for interviews before me and they were only going to hire around 50 or so people. Despite there being 3 managers conducting my interview it wasn't as daunting as I expected it to be. I actually stumbled on a few words out of nervousness and had to pause a couple times to think of an answer. I did get a call for a second interview but when I went in there was only one person conducting interviews and the form that was previously filled out about me during my first interview had gotten lost by one of the managers so I had to re-do the whole first interview set of questions with this person. I like the interview with 3 mangers better than with just one person (who I never found out what her title was) since this woman was a little condescending when I talked about my hobbies. I would have liked to not have to effectively re-do my first interview when I had already been called in for a second one.

Interview
Applied online. Got called in a couple of weeks later for a group interview that I thought went well. After not being contacted after 2 weeks I called back and they scheduled me for a 1on 1 interview with one of the managers. They showed me around the kitchen and told me that they'd call me in a couple of days. Never got the call. I knew the insides of the company and felt that I seem like a great candidate. Unfortunately they didn't feel the same.
