Avon interview questions

They were hiring for multiple Associate Brand Manager positions so I met with representatives from three departments (color, skin care and fragrance) . The interviews were all fairly similar. Each started with a "give me a bit of your background" question. After explaining my education, professional experience and work style they asked further questions regarding my background. There was a heavy emphasis on corporate structure and each interviewer made it a point to explain where this position would fall and who is above, below and on the same level. Each asked why I was interested in beauty and why specifically Avon.

The hiring process was very long. After a phone interview, I met with the Divisional Manager. Then I had another phone interview and a few phone tests. I also had to do ride alongs with different managers. The whole process took over 2 months.
