      Scientist Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Clark, NJ
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at L'Oréal (Clark, NJ) in Mar 2015

      Interview

      Overall a mixed feeling about this company Multiple rounds of interview, 2 telephonic and 1 onsite with 4 folks. The talent acquisition director was the best in terms of communication and update and the only reason I kept going for 3 months. I felt that the other folks (HR, VP) were unempathetic. Did not even bother to ask for lunch despite interview shifted to the lunch time, No reimbursement, No response to thank you notes. Please remember that you are trying to hire a person who is genuinely interested in your company and a small gesture goes a long way. I wonder if Loreal's bussiness is based on customers perception, how come they put unempathetic people on the front line?

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Most of the questions were non-technical in nature. Tell me about yourself? Why Loreal? How is your scientific background a good fit for this position? Salary requirement? Long term career plans (where do you see yourself in 5 years) Overall there were at least 30 different types of questions.
