I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty in Mar 2015
Interview
Multiple interviews with associate manager, SM, and a manager of another store. I interviewed with the Associate Manager first and it was great. She was really friendly, it was more of a conversation than anything. We set up an interview with the SM, which also went well. She was really business focused and a little distracted, however, the experience was positive. I was told they were looking to hire pretty soon and I would know by the following week. I waited for a call, and I got one to meet with an SM at another store. I was unable to meet the first day she suggested, however, I offered 3 different options for dates. I never got a call back. I followed up 3 separate times, leaving messages and unable to get in touch with the management to follow up, or schedule that last meeting. It was extremely unprofessional and makes me very uncomfortable as someone who takes care of hiring and onboarding with another company. I can't imagine just not getting back in touch with someone who's tried vigorously to follow up.
Pretty straight forward , typical questions, not very difficult. Only one interview, not multiple interviews. Job was offered within a couple days. Interview experience will definitely depend on who is doing the interviewing and how experienced they are.
Easy and friendly, I was made to feel comfortable and it was quick and cordial. Pretty standard retail type interview. Professional. Questions were neither too personal or too difficult. Easy to come up examples to fit scenarios asked. I felt good vibes from the two managers I met with.

What made a successful day working in a previous job
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2020
Interview
Over the phone and then in person. Pretty basic questions and simple interactions. The individual who interviewed me was quite late which I found to be unprofessional on their end.
