I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Estée Lauder Companies (New York, NY) in Aug 2021
Interview
I have interviewed with this company 5 times in 3 years and every time it has been neutral to negative. I don't mind if I don't get the job, but it's the lack of communication that I find really disrespectful. I apply through their website, the recruiter reaches out and I speak with them. That part goes well, but after that is usually where everything goes down hill. If I don't follow up with the recruiter, they never let me know that I moved on to the next round which is usually interviewing with a VP or Manager. After interviewing with the VP or Manager there's never any followup from the recruiter even when you email for a status update. And then you will see the job you applied for open for another 3-6 months. They really just love wasting your time.

Standard interview process with recruitment and then line manager. People were friendly and professional. Would recommend. Nice offices and shop. People were dressed smartly and gave professional image. Easy to park.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Estée Lauder Companies (New York, NY) in May 2022
Interview
Interview process was responsive and quick. The managers were all very nice even the recruiter knew which team/role I was perfect for. It wasn't a long wait to have the interviews as it was three back to back each day. You were basically interviewing with the Managers you would be supporting.

Question 1
What are your strengths? How do you handle your work under pressure?
The interview process was really positive. As a former employee, they highlighted successful projects they remembered & complimented my strengths. They asked me about my resume, what my passions are, why I wanted to work at Estee Lauder & whether I was comfortable with the requirements of the role.
