Interviewed Nov 2011 in Perrysburg, OH (took a day)
Dry interview. HR lady was not having it. Because my background was not what they were looking for I was not offered the position. Moving on.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 4 weeks)
1st Interview (1 hr) - On-campus with one HR rep and one engineer asking behavioral questions
2nd Interview (2 days) - Perrysburg, OH
The first day we visited the plant in Lapel, IN which is 3.5 hours from Perrysburg, making it a long day on the bus. The second day we had a case study where we were divided into teams to present ways to increase cullet availability, four 1:1 interviews, and tours of the R&D labs and quality labs.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I had a more competitive offer at another company, and also a lot of the current OMDP's commented that they were often bored...
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University.

Interviewed Dec 2009 (took 1+ week)
The overall interview process seemed a bit overdone for an internship. I had to interview with 6 different people which really seemed like too much. They were also really last minute about everything. Emailed me saying they wanted to have a phone interview in the next 3 days, and I was right in the middle of exam week at school.

Interviewed Jul 2009 in Toledo, OH (took 1 week)
Communications were clear and contacts were available for logistics and directions. Interview was in-depth with international executive. Expectation was less than 1 hour, however questions and discussion initiated by primary interviewer extended to 1.5 hours and included broad perspective questions as well as specific behavioural questions. Group interview was a more casual environment, probing into specific skill sets and background. People seemed genuinely excited about the company and the culture. The physical space was modern and comfortable.

Interviewed Feb 2008 (took 2 days)
I sent in my resume on the advice of a friend who works there. I was contacted about 3 weeks later from HR for a phone interview. The process was pretty normal, although the panel clearly consisted of people who could not care less. Big turn off. I was taken to the cafeteria for lunch, followed by a personality and IQ test that day. Was called a week later, brought in for a 1:1 which was better, but I didn't have a good feeling about the company. The work culture seemed fairly benign, the people nice, but showed a lot of wear and tear from present challenges of the company. I would research any company I applied to much more thoroughly before I agreed to any interview! Lesson learned.

Reason for Declining
Didn't like the sense of low morale, and truly was turned off by the location.
