      Synthetic Chemist (PhD) Interview

      16 Aug 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Akron, OH
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bridgestone Americas (Akron, OH) in Jan 2018

      Interview

      In the beginning, I had the phone interview with their research team. I gave a 25-minute long research overview and got behavioral questions from them. After two weeks, I got the on-site interview invitation with Bridgestone in Akron. I flew to Akron a day before my interview, and someone from the research team picked me up and brought me to the dinner. My flight was delayed and I could not catch the next one but their HR team did a good job to change my ticket so that I could get in Akron on time. During the next day, I gave a 45-minute research seminar in the beginning and the whole team was there along with some other analytical team members, engineers, and interns. Then, there was a "problem solving" time which was to mimic a real group meeting time when they had to solve some technical problems from other business groups. After that, there were 4 groups of people asking some behavioral questions. Finally, I had a 1-on-1 meeting with the research team manager and then HR.
