Interview
Beware - they don't want experienced professionals from the outside! Lubrizol seems to be using the hiring process to collect hiring data to be able to show they interviewed a variety of demographics from the outside. If you watch LinkedIn and Glassdoor, they only seem to hire (cheaper) recent college graduates or their own. A complete waste of time.
Phone interview to check initial fit. A follow up with face to face interviews. Takes some time to move through the system but all very professional. Competency based interview process.
