The interview process was very collegial and straightforward. First rounds were over the phone with 4 different current directors. Once I moved past first round, the in-person interviews became more involved. There was a 45 minute presentation to a room full of existing senior leaders on my background, work experience and skillsets. There was no specific topic. Rather, the goal of the presentation was to assess how I put together a storyline as well as how I presented. The day was quite long as I spoke with about 6 people one-on-one but each conversation was fair and mostly focused on me painting a picture of how my skillsets meet the job requirements. There was an in-person third round which was a combination of more conversations with senior leaders combined with more of a "sell" of Eastman, the area, and the community (all of which are wonderful).

Very professional. Maybe a bit long. Involved several telephone interviews with corporate HQ in the USA. Very friendly approach from all interviewers. HR played a central role in the entire process.
