Interviewed Jan 2012 in Watchung, NJ (took 1 week)
I had applied online and got a call the next day right and early in the morning. I went in for an interview 2 days after they had called me. Everything went well, it was a one on one interview and everything was very professional.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took a day)
We had a group interview with me and 2 other girls. It was just general retail questions.. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? How much experience do you have? Have you had management experience? etc. They made me really excited for the position.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
Contacted a couple of days after applying online and scheduled interview for the following week. Arrived for the interview and asked the basic questions, such as " Why Ulta?", "Have you had any conflicts with fellow employees?", etc. Pretty laid back and straightforward.
Interview lasted about 15-20 minutes and was contacted the same day to extend employment offer.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Woodbury, MN (took a day)
It was a group interview. I was nervous at first but it's kind of nice having others there so the attention is not on you all the time. I would recommend trying to speak first so you don't repeat others answers. We did a little bit of role playing and it wasn't too bad. Also the manager was super nice! It didn't take them too long to get back to me and offer me the job. It took a week at the most!

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Austin, TX (took 3 weeks)
Several interviews took place. I received a call from a recruiter and had a brief phone interview. Then, the hiring GM called and we scheduled our in person interview. Lastly, I interviewed with the DM. Both face to face interviews did last about an hour and a half. I heard back 3-4 days later so the wait was not too bad ( I have waited much much longer on other companies). Overall, it was a pleasant process. Some basic questions were asked of course, but it really was not scripted or cookie-cutter, which I thought showed good management.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 1+ week)
Basic phone screening with recruiter about customer experience, leadership style, and motives for leaving current organization. Next was 1:1 interview with DM. Lastly a call from the regional VP for final approval. Please be cautious of the hype and ask thorough questions. They will sell you the moon if you allow it, but are quick to give false expectations and glorify the company and its working environment. Very deceitful at every level of the organization.
Negotiation Details
Did not negotiate salary because I was given what I asked for. Be cautious of high benefit premiums ( I asked and was given a number significantly lower than the actual) and low bonus potential, especially for other members of management.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 1 week)
I wasn't impressed by the interview at all. However, in a tough economy I took because I have a family to support. My GM was over forty-five minutes late for my interview. She barely paid attention to anything I said. She kept looking around and then every once in awhile she would just nod her head and make a general statement about my responses. The DM was also there and she never introduced herself me to. I was appalled at the lack of professionalism. There was another GM at the store that day that engaged with me more than my present GM did. If anyone is looking to interview with this company I would be asking the interviewer a lot of questions.

Negotiation Details
I didn't negotiate. At the time, I thought they gave me a decent offer. Now looking back their offer wasn't worth taking this job.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Orlando, FL (took a day)
I applied online about a week and half before they called me. I had a manager call me and asked me to come in that evening. I dressed business casual but very fashionable. I think because I was fashionable they hired me right then and there lol.... She asked me basic questions, my skills for the job, how would I better there business. The girl interviewing me was close to my age so I was able to talk to her very easily. They offered me the position on the spot.

Negotiation Details
Moderate. It is salon/retail so I knew what the pay would be before going in. She asked what I expected and I said between 8-10 and they gave me 8.50.
