I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Chipotle (Dayton, OH) in Mar 2014
Interview
A lot of rapid-fire questions, ranging from "the difference between a leader and a manager" to "what was the worst day of your life?" Pretty informal, it took place in a restaurant over beers. Different.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Chipotle (Tucson, AZ) in Aug 2014
Interview
This was a total waste of time just as another person on this website stated. I applied online and got an automated email invite for an interview about a week after I applied. It was a group interview with 6 others and myself. However, the interviewers did not ask us anything about the company. I wasted so much time researching Chipotle for nothing. The questions were very simple. Someone asked how many positions the restaurant was looking to fill, and the interviewer stated 3-4. The problem is that they were conducting multiple group interviews just to end up burning through alot of capable applicants to only fill a few positions. Chipotle seems to enjoy wasting peoples time. The interviewers did not take notes on anything any of the applicants said, they didn't even have everybodys application with them and only had a few of ours. They did not seem interested in any of us since the beginning of the interview. I have no idea what Chipotle was looking for. I expressed interest in moving into a management position with them, and being in the job for the long haul. But I guess they don't want that.

Question 1
Unexpected question: If you could be any type of food, what would it be and why?
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Chipotle (Indianapolis, IN) in Jul 2014
Interview
So in my city if Indianapolis, I was at an interview for Chipotle. It was supposed to be at 4 pm, but I didn't even get interviewed until 4:45. The kicker is, there were about 3 customers in the 40 some odd minutes I waited. The manager was really rude and acted as if he didn't even want to interview me. Why would you ask me for an interview if you were going to be rude and act as if you weren't going to hire me before you sat down? Very unprofessional.
