Completely unprofessional interview process by human resources. Received 5 missed calls and voicemails during business working hours from the HR manager and played phone tag for 3wks. Finally, I asked they try to reach me through email as it was the best way for me to respond since I have a demanding work schedule and can not make personal calls during the day.
The first and second round interviews were finally scheduled. On the day I went to the interview, HR told me they would meet me in the lobby. Not only did no one meet me, security held me downstairs and would not let me up since I was not listed on the security list. Security repeated called the receptionist and HR contact with only no one to answer. Now it is 20 minutes later and I was begging the security desk to try patching through to any personnel on that floor to allow me up so I would not be late for my interview time.
After they finally let me up, I then sat in the receptionist area for 40 minutes waiting past my official interview start time. The HR person did not even call the receptionist desk to say they would be delayed...nothing. After 45 minutes the time when our interview time was meant to end, I finally said I had to head back to the office and could not wait any longer.
There after I expected a phone call, email, anything to apologize for what had transpired with being stood up on my interview. I got nothing. Until I emailed the HR contact the next day and she finally emailed me back. It was this very strange excuse about her going on vacation next wk and not being able to reschedule for phone or in person interview. In addition she also cancelled my already scheduled 2nd round with the VP.
I have never encountered such a lack of respect for a candidate's time and unprofessional treatment of a fellow working professional in the industry. It turned me off from ever applying or working for this company.

Interview
just a couple rounds - all behavioural, nothing of note but a snobbish environment. made allusions to a toxic work environment many times ... stressful/fast-paced, etc. would not really recommend given company performance
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Estée Lauder Companies in Jan 2025
Interview
I was headhunted by the HR Director for a role, but the process felt rushed as they were eager to fill the position. Unfortunately, the hiring manager arrived late to the interview and had not reviewed my resume beforehand. Overall, I found the experience disorganized and unprofessional.
