This is a great company and I was truly excited to go through the hiring process. There were a lot of communication challenges during the interview process which was compounded by the fact that they were hiring two layers of management at the same time. I ultimately was not the right person for the job, but I was most disappointed that after a few calls to HR and the hiring manager I had to find out via text that the process was over and that someone was selected. “Process is over, good luck on your career” I was told that Solvay was searching for someone that was looking to grow and advance out of the position they were hiring for at the time due to some projected talent gaps in the supply Chain area. As a degreed Supply Chain professional with 11 yrs. experience I thought I had a good shot at the role. Turns out they were looking for something different and ended up hiring an individual internally who appeared to be at the tail end of their career. I would call this a waste of time but every experience is a learning experience. If you are in a panel interview and no one is taking notes then the company may be trying to check a box. This is my honest feedback but at the end of the day this is a great company with many great people.

The interview process was very disheartening. I was told by the Regional Supply manager that Solvay was looking for younger talent to fill leadership roles due to aging talent pool. I brought to the table at 33 years old 11 yrs experience in manufacturing, BS Supply Chain Management and MBA. After the panel interview that seemingly went well I was never given the courtesy of a call back Or email to tell me I didn’t get the job. Just short text after 2 weeks of waiting “they filled the role, good luck”. Long story short the role will filled by an existing employee that did not meet the job description qualifications but did have many years with the company. I do respect Solvay’s decision I just hate that my interview process was just a check in the box.
