This works well in the company

The products are great, so are the employees.

This could be improved

except the products, everything can be improved. in my opinion, the company is built on taking advantage of people with few job opportunities and constantly changing them. You have personnel, but only those who have bad prospects for another job, e.g. because of age or lack of training, remain.

Very positive experience & good impression of the application process. Professional, informative, friendly and personal. Positive impression of the atmosphere at ELC, beautiful offices & friendly contact.

This could be improved

Rather longer response and decision times during the application process.

The advantage is has different brands and several possibilities.

This could be improved

The application process should be faster. The waiting time is far too long! One is always put off on demand or does not get a correct answer. With such a company you expect professionalism, but it is only chaos.

This works well in the company

Products are top notch but now if you delivered properly, now the management is mega scrap are like kids who just want attention and dominating the normal employees who are under sales pressure. There is nowhere else a company that has constantly irregular variety whether in the HR department or sales like the company Estee Lauder. Rather applicants 2x think, with the current administration management whether the application is worthwhile itself. At EL company there is no recognition and further development, what really exists is only the superficial greetings and SALE PRINT / PAY.

This could be improved

The complete HR has to make huge changes or are in the wrong place, a CM should not perform 2 counters, there is nowhere like that! unqualified employees coming from the construction site with ZERO notion of cosmetics and facial care just like maquillage without any training or experience in cosmetics, they come from the construction sites (fact) and simply in cold water are thrown just because their wages are not too high!! in 2019 in the highly developed SWITZERLAND!! something like that is not tolerable.

Employer comment

08 January 2020

Unfortunately, you draw a lot of things into the negative. In my opinion, Estee Lauder Companies offers a career changer a place where passion can be lived, learned and improved. Running two counters stands for appreciation and trust on the part of employers. One can probably assume that both employers and employees are satisfied in their own role to offer an opportunity as well as to take it!

Very pleasant

I felt very comfortable at my interview. It was a pleasant atmosphere.

This could be improved

The time between the application and the final decision may be a little shorter.

Thinking of applying but I'm not put off by all this, work as a branch manager. It's always about numbers we as supervisors care about numbers. We're not in charge of pushing egos... but to survive the pandemic as a company. My application goes out...

Unfortunately not much, the only good thing is that there are many young people.

This could be improved

The working atmosphere is quite bad as a general restructuring has been done. Unfortunately, many employees don't feel valued at all and leave the company - so many valuable resources go away. The pay is also not really right and is below average. In general, I would not recommend this company, as the good ratings are partly written by managers and HR themselves to increase the average.

Ich arbeite seit über 10 Jahre sehr gerne für die Estee Lauder Companies. Die Firma ist im Umbruch, ja, wer aber eine Herausforderung sucht, Engagement und Flexibilität mitbringt, wird es lieben. Mann kann mit Spass und Kreativität viel bewegen, neue Wege einschlagen und sich austoben. Top Arbeitergeber! #havefun

More Appearance than Being

Former employee

26 October 2018

The brands are very cool and there are mostly young people in the teams. However, you should consider your application twice. Even though the company is in a state of upheaval, unfortunately there is no clear line or structure. Many good employees leave or have already left. - Empty promises regarding development opportunities or contract extensions - Fixed-term or bad employment contracts Good ratings on platforms are now captured by HR to improve the rating.
