"I would still be with them, but I reside in the wrong economic, geographic location"
What do you like about working at Estee Lauder?
"Great product, great vision, great managers."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"It is a great company, under financial pressure, as most US companies are. Sell your skill set, and agree to be relocatable."
What don't you like about working at Estee Lauder?
"No work/life balance--I worked 60-75 hours week as the norm."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Layoffs are not going to solve the problem at point of sale. There were other alternatives (offer early buyouts, reduced salaries, part time regions w/ no benefits job sharing etc.). Many companies are taking the easy way out to respond to Wall Street pressure. In the long run, you will not have the best and the brightest left--just those who live in the right cities. Look for the LONG view."
