I applied online. I interviewed at LEE in Mar 2026
Interview
I never intended on fully applying to this role, but after I received an email from recruiting that I should, I decided to bite the bullet. To my surprise, I was actually contacted for an interview. I was really caught off guard by the vibe of the meeting, it was not comfortable or conversational in the slightest, which I was already put off by. I was asked mainly difficult questions that were not really about the job responsibilities itself. I somehow managed to make it past that stage and reached the final interview. It was with 3 people, including 1 person I had already been interviewed by. The vibe of this meeting was also weird. It truly felt like an interrogation, not a conversation. In my experience, this always means I am not moving forward, which I feel is a blessing because I don't want to work with people who are not culturally my fit. Advice to hiring teams at LEE: don't think because you ask complex and long questions that you'll find the best candidates, if anything, you'll simply find the best performers.
The process took 2 months. I interviewed at LEE (New York, NY) in Aug 2017
Interview
As others describe, multiple rounds of interviews, and a hiring task. Took approximately 2 months. Questions are standard across most of their interviews, mostly fairly generic questions, no "quirky" curveball questions to watch out for in my experience.

Question 1
What is the role you find yourself playing in a group or team?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at LEE in Sept 2015
Interview
It was a long and tedious process. The interviews felt very cold and detached and more like an interrogation. These people have no respect for a candidate's time or experience. The project that is required to move forward is a huge waste of time, extremely time consuming and I get the feeling that they use it to get free work done by candidates, so they can in turn use our ideas. Everyone I spoke with talked in cliches and came across very insincere and when I met several of them there was a strange air of bias about them. All in all, they were very tacky, unprofessional and disrespectful of my time and effort.

Question 1
All questions were textbook-like and robotic. As others have mentioned, they asked my minimum salary and later asked if that was a hard minimum for me since it was higher than they supposedly paid. This was after making me go through the whole process, again, very wasteful of my valuable time. If my salary expectations are too high, they should've said that day 1.
