I applied online. I interviewed at Bridgestone Americas (Akron, OH) in Jan 2011
Interview
Interview with all the divisions (Chemists, Analytical Scientist, Process Engineers, Material Scientists and Senior Leadership Team). PhDs are required to present their dissertation work. After that you solve a case study in front of the section managers and the leadership team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
