IPSY interview questions

5 rounds of interviews with a total of 10 contacts: Recruiter phone interview Hiring manager phone interview In person BU interviews Recruiter interviews Skype interviews with executive management The process was completely disorganized with the final round communicated as final but then proceeding to additional interviews. At the end, they decided to cancel hiring for the role. Ipsy completely wasted my time and was not respectful or serious. If you’re going to require candidates to take that much time out of their work schedule, you should be serious about staffing a role. Don’t waste your time. My experience clearly shows they have no idea what they’re doing. Beware, there have been lots of shakeups and turnover as of late. In addition, the company lost their key resource/influencer/differentiator - their CEO

After the recruiter call, I spoke with the hiring manager and got an exercise to work on -- solve a challenge of their product. Next round, I had the video chat with a few interviewers. While presenting my solution, I did not feel my work or time was respected. The exercise was time-consuming, but the interviewers weren't friendly or engaging while I was presenting my solution. One week later, I received a rejection letter simply stating the quality of my work was not meet their bar. I did not see how their work or attitude defined their bar. I felt the hiring team was very biased since the beginning. They gave me the interview as if they had to do it. The process seems just to validate that I can't be a good candidate, based on their pre-judgement.
