I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Chipotle (Appleton, WI) in Apr 2010
Interview
Received a call 2 days after application was submitted and was set up for an screening with a low level manager. After the screening you are either set up with a second interview or told that its not a good fit. During your second interview things get deeper, expect long term goal questions, why are you a good fit etc. Third interview is a meet the crew interview where you are set up to come in during the morning shift before the restaurant opens. You get an opportunity to meet the crew, look around the restaurant and get a general idea of what you are getting into. Next is the orientation portion of the process, you go through a flip book that is trying to get you to buy into the culture. Paperwork scanning afterwards and then you're in.
Asked questions about what positions work best for you, why you want to work there, what makes you a good fit there, where you see yourself in 5 years. Very simple and open to answer any questions I had
I applied online. I interviewed at Chipotle (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2026
Interview
Very brief, was only asked a few questions. I felt a decision about not hiring me was made before the interviewer even sat down. I suspect the interviewer was not accustomed to interviewing and may actually only standing in for a manager that was not working that day
I applied online. I interviewed at Chipotle (West Hartford, CT) in May 2026
Interview
I scheduled an interview, but when I arrived the first time the manager was not there, so I had to reschedule. At the second interview, I waited about 10–15 minutes before the manager was ready. The interview itself was short, around 10 minutes, and mostly consisted of behavioral questions read from a sheet. Overall, the process felt disorganized and not very personal, but the questions were straightforward.
