I was contacted by HR shortly after submitting an online application. This call included a personality interview (typical interview questions like "what is your greatest weakness, describe a particularly challenging experience at work", etc.) and they gave me an overview of the job description, which sounded like a really great opportunity. I had checked in on my status by sending emails and calling this HR person, but I did not receive a response until 2 weeks later. It was good news, that I was to have a phone interview with the scientist I would be reporting under. That went really well, and I was asked to come out for a final in-person interview. L'Oreal made the travel arrangements. The in-person interviews with the team I'd be working with went well. They were all very nice, informative, and seemed interested in me as a candidate. However, I had expressed to the HR person that I was concerned I might be overqualified for the position, and I was also concerned about a lack of career development in the position. What the team told me was different from what the HR person told me in the initial phone screen. I thought this might have ruined my chances, but I wasn't sure that the job was a good fit for what I wanted in my next career step anyway. After weeks of them checking in and telling me that I was being strongly considered, I finally received a rejection email--5 WEEKS after my final interview. I thought that was a long time to be waiting only to not receive an offer. Also, the rejection email was for a job title I did not apply/interview for! It was for a more senior position that I would definitely have been interested in, given my strong interest in gaining more of a supervisory position. Overall, the whole interview process was unorganized, and there were obvious communication issues between HR and the leadership/scientific staff according to the feedback I received.
