I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Chipotle (New York, NY)
Interview
I walked in, they gave me a free cup to fill, and told me to wait. it was only about a five minute wait, when the hiring manager and who i guess was a manager came to interview me. it was short and easy, mostly personal questions like "what do you want to be when you grow up?" but also a couple along the lines of "why do you want to work for us?" I studied a lot the night before, based on what others said i would need to. that studying didn't really do anything. they said they'd call back by the next friday whether i got the job or not.
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.

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
