I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PPG (Oak Creek, WI) in Feb 2020
Interview
Friendly HR staff with typical interview questions foocused on my education and previous worn experiences, The interview with manager and his team went well too. My only complaint is Day 1 I was introduced me to my manager who was not part of interview process and reported to the manager I thought I was going to report to. Thats a huge detail to leave out. My advice is to ask, reconfirm general details. Cant trust they will tell you if somethings different.
No technical questions were asked. They basically just asked questions about my resume and behavioral questions. Pretty standard interview overall. They also used the star method so be prepared for that.
