I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Chipotle in Nov 2014
Interview
I applied here last Saturday and got an email saying they would like to interview me that Wednesday. The interview went great, every single crew member said they liked me and the GM told me to come again this Monday for a second review. But then, I got an email saying they reviewed my application and don't have a position to offer me. It kinda through me off but I'm still going to go to the interview and tell them about it. I'll update on my second interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Every single crew member asked me what I knew about the company. All were impressed because they said that the only thing people say when they come in is that they just like the food. Also, they ask for examples of how you are a leader, and how would your friends describe me.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Chipotle (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2014
Interview
Chipotle has a three interview hiring process. The first interview is with the General Manager (usually a group interview). In the first interview the general manager just asked questions about myself so I just talked on and on about what I love to do and why I love to do it. The second interview is the Apprentice who is a level below the GM (also a group interview). In the interview with the Apprentice you get asked how much you know about the company and its values, also how long you plan to stay with the company if hired (apparently Chipotle doesn't do rehires no matter what the reason was for leaving). The third can be a group interview depending on how many people made it that far in the interviewing process. The third interview is with the entire crew that already works at Chipotle, this is one thing that I loved because they want to make sure that the people you are working with will like you especially since they are working on reaching a goal. Once hired they can be very unorganized, it took me two months to start working because someone was on vacation and no one was there to complete the hiring process.

How much do you know about the company and what is it that you know about the company. Do you know what food with integrity means and what are Chipotles 13 characteristics.
I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Chipotle (Naperville, IL) in Oct 2011
Interview
When I was applying, they set me up with a manager on duty then had me come in the next day to talk to another manager. After that, they made me come in and have lunch with the crew members to really talk to everyone. I feel like by making me talk to multiple people, it allowed me to really know who I'm working with even before going to work on my first day.

Question 1
If someone were to have forgotten their wallet and did not have money to pay for the food, what would you do?
