I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Eastman in Jul 2013
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiting firm in May. The recriuting firm conducted two phone screenings; one with an associate, one with a VP. In late June, I had a phone interiview with the hiring manager at Eastman. About a month later, I was brought to Kingsport for an on-site interview. I interviewed with six people, including three business unit managers and a VP/GM all for about one hour each. Received offer two days later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing unexpected or too difficult. I was asked to give specific details about some of the experience on my resume.
One interviewer asked how I would handle a hypothetical sales situation to see how well I understood what drove a customer's decision-making.
Intensive process with multiple interviews with more than 5 people. There was also an evaluation of my marketing skills that included an interview/q and an and online test. The interviews were all virtual.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Eastman (Kingsport, TN) in Jan 2025
Interview
Spoke to a contract HR representative who set me up for a personality profile, then a 2-hour business case review (1 hour to prepare / 1 hour to present via Zoom or similar). 1-hour follow-up with another internal employee via Zoom or similar. 3.5+ hours invested without ever speaking to a hiring manager. Passed everything with flying colors and was then told that the hiring manager passed without ever talking to me. The company appeared to have no regard for the candidate's time. Never again.

Interview
Interview is over the course of the day with like 10 different team members. Questions are good and they’re looking to gather your understanding for the given market, not so much any technical understanding.
