I had a phone interview first with someone from their corporate HR group. I then had a phone interview with the hiring manager a couple of days later.. This was the most crucial. Lastly I had my final interview with a panel of 6 people asking questions for an hour. They had different objectives in measuring different attributes about me.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you influenced your project team to make an important decision about a project.
I applied online. I interviewed at Corning in Jan 2026
Interview
Very lengthy process with minimal communication between stages. The interview process spanned approximately three months from application to final decision. I received an automated rejection email about 3 weeks after the in-person interview.
I visited the site, got a tour, met with several managers for Evals, each around 30 mins. Technical interview was pretty easy. The total process took half a day but it was all 1 on 1 interviews with different managers.
