First round was a group interview on 11/11/24. They asked 3 questions, it was with 4 other interviewees and one hiring manager. Got asked why you want to intern here, when you had an unrealistic deadline, and a time when you got feedback and used it from someone. Then was a group question where solve a problem and we give our thoughts with the other interns. Two days later I got a one on one interview. She told me what I would work for and the company, and just general personal questions. It’s been two weeks and haven’t heard anything back from the team yet. (No offer yet but I am still waiting to hear back)
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Estée Lauder Companies in Nov 2025
Interview
The first round consisted of 5 candidates and 1 recruiter. Each candidate was asked the same 3 questions, then there was group activity afterwards. The second round was a 1:1 with a hiring manager. They assess your knowledge of the company and your motivations through behavioral questions. Highly recommend preparing accordingly before the interviews.
