I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Chipotle (Sterling, VA) in Oct 2013
Interview
The interview process at Chipotle is like no other! First they have the manager or supervisor come and talk to you for the initial part of the interview. He asked a few questions, mostly based around my personality and what i'm passionate about. He then went and asked a team member to talk to me. She asked a few questions and told me that she thinks I'll fit in just fine with the team. She went back and the manager returned. I was then offered a job!
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
The interview process included an application, attending a brief in-person interview, answering questions about teamwork, availability, customer service, and attitude, and was sometimes followed by a same-day or quick hiring decision.
