Online & ghosted there’s a very quick start in the beginning but then after the first interview, I was completely ghosted and I emailed twice with zero communication back, the interviewer was very kind and polite, but the frustration was all through the lack of communication

Average interview
Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty in Jan 2016
Interview
Was reached by recruiter and had a pre screen phone conversation with her. Then she had me drive 4 hours round trip to interview with DM. The recruiter didn't communicate too me that the DM wanted to change the time. So I show up and have to wait an extra half hour. The DM then hurries me thru because he had a conference call to get on. The DM then forgot we had a follow up phone conversation scheduled and I had to reach him. The whole process was pretty unprofessional
The Interview with district manager and then one other dm , one was in person and rte other virtually over the phone on teams. Each interview was about an hour
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Indianapolis, IN)
Interview
Three interviews, with three different people. 1st with recruiter, 2nd with DM, final with Regional. Each interviewer has a different segment to ask so the same questions aren’t being asked.
