Candidate-reported interview process
After a career fair, I was offered an interview with two Account Managers. They asked straightforward questions, including one about working with a difficult coworker on a project. The next stage was an in-person panel over two days where I met with directors from different business units, along with other recruits.
It was a long process, took a few months to get vetted. First interview on campus, second in Avon Lake with executives, lastly you will go on a ride along. I would recommend having other offers on the table if you are looking to apply to PolyOne.
I met PolyOne at a career fair on campus. They tested me a lot at the career fair in the way that they spoke to me and even made me sell them something on the spot. The next day, I did a formal interview on campus with the two men I met at the career fair.
