I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Chipotle (Sacramento, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
Initial interview is a group interview, be sure to smile a lot, they take notes on that. Also, be excited. Be knowledgeable. Stand out from the group as someone who is going to come to work with a great attitude. Make friends with the people in your interview group, everyone is nervous. Crack the ice! The manager you interview with will notice and want that on their team. Youtube EVERYTHING about chipotle interviews, its literally all laid out for you on a silver platter.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Again, youtube everything about chipotle interviews and what it means to be a top performer. They will hire you if you make yourself informed on these things. Its their core and their culture.
Just applied online and then got a call to come in for an interview. it was a very straightforward process. interviewed right there in the seating area by the hiring manager.
the interview was very professional and respectful. i appreciated the clear questions and respectful environment. i was given water and they actually sent an email saying i was rejected instead of ghosting me, nice
Easy got the job right away with no experience. NEGATIVE: you need to buy new shoes and was not told this until my first shift...What stood out most was the lack of professionalism. The environment seemed chaotic, and employees appeared stressed and overworked, which made me question the overall workplace culture.
Overall, the experience didn’t reflect well on the company, and it made me reconsider wanting to work there. I hope they improve their interview process to better respect candidates’ time and present a more positive image of their workplace.
