Financial Analyst at Essilor of America
No Offer – Interviewed in Dallas, TX Sep 2011 – Reviewed Jan 26, 2012
Interview Details –
HR interview was straight forward.
Panel interview with 2 hiring managers, one is French. He wanted to speak French to me since my resume mentioned I'm a French linguist as well. It was a bit strange since the other interviewer did not speak French. I had gear back the discussion to why I was there and get back to business.
I was asked to do an MS Excel test online.
Interview Question – Can you work late at night, sometime the two of us logged in from home around midnight. Answer Question

Inventory Analyst at Essilor of America
No Offer – Interviewed in Carrollton, TX Apr 2011 – Reviewed Jul 7, 2011
Interview Details – I applied online at the Essilor site and was contacted by a recruiter. She described the role and asked a few preliminary questions. She arranged for an in-person interview where I met with the hiring manager and his superior. It was obvious from the start that I was not qualified for the role. The hiring manager asked me a series of technical questions that likely confirmed to him that I wasn't the person he was looking for. His manager seemed nice at first, but made it clear that the last person hired 'couldn't hack it' in the department. She also made it clear that I'd be subjected to a barrage of accounting tests to 'prove I know what is on my resume'. Even if they had called me to move further in the process, I would have declined after that.
Interview Question – Tell me about your experience with <insert varied technical terms I've never dealt with here> View Answer

Interview Details –
Recruiting contacted me for an interview. I completed their basic skills test but never heard back from the company's inside recruiter even with period followups via phone and email.
ADVICE - Avoid Essilor's recruiting team and try to communicate only with the hiring manager.

Corporate at Essilor of America
No Offer – Interviewed in Aug 2009 – Reviewed Nov 10, 2009
Interview Details –
The one on one lasted for 2 hours. The junior recruiter, was not looking professional and was shabbily clothed and was just "doing her job". She was just interrogating me and was like a Q & A session and I felt I was not sitting there for a job interview but for a media interview. After that the very personable HR manager came in and was very cordial and welcoming and opened a very interesting interview session. She was very knowledgeable and fit the role of a HR manager.
Upon entry, the receptionist did not say hello but simply asked me to pen down my registeration.
I sent them a thank you letter, for which I did not get a response, but got a decline letter after a month. Very bad practice. Thanks
