Applied to company website.
After two months received invitation to complete 5 question video questionnaire.
After another month received email asking to participate in a telephone interview with corporate recruiter.
After two more months and multiple follow up requests received invitation for telephone interview with area corporate recruiter.
Waited a week to receive follow up call to participate in third phone interview with area manager.
Attended face-to-face interview with area manager, then waited three days for follow up.
After third day received rejection email from area corporate recruiter.
Be prepared to hurry up and wait. A company that stresses the importance of how their "13 characteristics" defines their culture should "take a look in the mirror" at their own behaviors.
Conscientious? FAKE
Polite? FAKE
Respectful? FAKE.
Hospitable? FAKE
Happy? FAKE
Ambitious? FAKE
Infectiously enthusiastic? FAKE
Curious? FAKE
Honest? HARDLY
Motivated? A FIVE-MONTH INTERVIEW PROCESS! FAKE
Presentable? TRIM YOUR BEARDS-IT'S NOT FOOD SAFE
Smart? SURE, WHY NOT. I'M NOT THAT IGNORANT
High Energy? ONLY WHEN SPEED READING INTERVIEW QUESTIONS FROM A FORM AT 300wpm
Would I have given this negative review if offered a position? NO, OF COURSE NOT
To string someone along for five months of multiple lengthy interviews only to be rejected with a form response demonstrates a lack of integrity and sincerity. Actions speak louder than words, Chipotle, and I'll never give you a cent of my hard-earned money, benefit of my time or offer of my EXCELLENT skills again.
Thank you for the clarifying process and lesson learned.
