I interviewed for the MP role originally and after I was not offered the role, the recruiter referred me to apply for this role given my merchandising background. From there I worked with a different recruiter. I was so excited at the possibility of joining this company that I was open to any opportunity that made sense with my merchandising career background. This process was very similar to the Merchandise Planner interview process. It was a phone screen (which had to get rescheduled because she never called me at the original time scheduled), phone interview with a manager, and then an on-site interview. Because I had just been on-site a few weeks prior for a different role, the previous recruiter initially told me that I would most likely not have to come back on-site, but then I was invited to go back to Ulta in Bolingbrook and meet the team. The whole process was not as smooth as my experience was for the Merch Planner role. I felt very dismissed by the recruiter handling this position. She just wasn't a great communicator like the other one. It took almost two weeks to schedule my first phone interview with the manager, which I understand can happen, and then after that phone interview it took 2 more weeks to hear back anything from the recruiter to schedule the in person. I then had the in person interview with 5 different people (at this point I have now met with 11 people at this company). Everything this time went well and really smooth. I left feeling like I vibed with the whole team (and maybe I read those vibes wrong...who knows) and there was not one question I did not know the answer too. I sent individual thank you notes to everyone I interviewed with and patiently waited for feedback. Again after this part of the process--I felt very dismissed by the recruiter. It honestly made me feel like I wasted my time---twice. The whole experience felt like this second opportunity was a consolation prize for not getting the other role. This recruiter not only gave me a VERY generic "we've moved on with a different candidate" email, but she also ignored my email asking for feedback. The other recruiter I had worked with was so great with transparency into the whole process and gave me amazing feedback from the team that I thought this was perhaps the standard with their internal HR. It was a great learning experience as far as what can happen when you do interview with what you thought was your dream company. Definitely left a bad taste in my mouth after the second experience.
