Interviewed earlier in the year with the team. Almost everyone is nice. With that being said I was left with the impression that the organization did not really know what they were doing, they had aggressive goals with no plan/ structure in place on how to accomplish them. Frankly they seem to spend more time "strategizing" then actually doing. Which explains why the brand is not that well known. Speaking with team members it is clear to see they are years behind in almost every aspect of the business, from technology, culture, marketing etc.
Ultimately I turned the offer down because this place seems like a nightmare to work for and the teams dont know what they are doing. The people are friendly and it seems like a laid back environment which is great, but if your looking for a place to grow a career this is definitely not it.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The NeoStrata Company (Princeton, NJ) in Dec 2017
Interview
Initial phone screen with HR recruiter immediately led to a full-day on-site interview. The on-site interview was scheduled within the following 2 weeks. The interview process took about 4 and a half hours, 6 separate interviews. I followed up immediately with thank you notes and within the day the Hiring Manager reached out to set up a follow-up phone interview. I prepped for it and cleared my schedule in the middle of work related travel. 5 minutes after the interview was supposed to start I had not received a phone call, so I checked the invite which stated that I was to call the interviewer. I immediately called and was put through to voicemail. I left a voicemail and immediately followed up with an email. I tried calling again 10 minutes later and immediately received a short, curt email that he would need to reschedule the call. I responded with my availability and never heard back. I followed up with the recruiter and also never heard back. The concern here is complete lack of respect for people's time. If they were not interested or thought that I was not the right fit, they should've communicated that as common courtesy given that I had already taken out so much time to go for an on-site and accommodate time for the follow-up. I found the process rude and it overall left a bad taste/impression.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at The NeoStrata Company (Costa Mesa, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
Was excited about it and worked up for lol NOTHING! Also asked me personal questions which I thought was bizarre .. Was tested on their products right on the spot without given any knowledge or anything of really who they are .. If I didn't know who they are or their products that set me back on my territory
