First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Solvay.
Research Scientist
There was a phone call, then an interview with the line manager, followed by a panel interview, and finally an interview with the GM. The line manager interview is super important to highlight your past experience and industry knowledge. The panel interview is to check your communication skills.
- Can you detail the applications you've worked on previously?
Research Scientist
I interviewed at Solvay Specialty Polymer in Alpharetta, GA in April, 2021. The interview process was smooth, but it was a very unpleasant experience with Solvay on the reimbursement process. I paid meals and hotel myself and Solvay promised to reimburse my expenses. It has been more than 4 months but still I did not receive any reimbursement. I communicated with Solvay on this matter but it has been more than 2 months still nothing happened.
- What are your professional skills?
Research Scientist
I interviewed at the R&D center in Bristol, PA. The interview was pretty laid back. The oil and gas manager even picked me up from the train station! I had technical interviews with two senior scientists who are top in their field. It was an honor to be interviewed by them.
- Can you share an example of when you demonstrated leadership abilities?
