      Senior CHEMIST Interview

      Jan 9, 2013
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Philadelphia, PA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Dow (Philadelphia, PA) in Nov 2012

      Interview

      I sent my resume to Dow when they were interviewing on campus. Got an interview on campus that lasted about 45 min. This interview was pretty much what is expected from on campus interviews - talk about your qualifications and experiences, and behavioral questions, nothing uncommon. The guy was very nice and I felt very comfortable. About a month later I received an email to schedule an on-site interview in Philadelphia. Before contacting me they had contacted my advisor asking him to send a note about me. The on-site interview lasted 1 full day. I flew one day before to Philadelphia and met a guy the next day for breakfast. The guy had been recently hired. Then he took me to the company, I made a presentation of about 45 min. There were some technical questions about my work but nothing very difficult. Then I went to a room where people would come to interview me. I was interviewed one by one by 5 people. They were the hiring manager, associate scientist, associate director, research scientist, associate scientist and lead chemist. The interviews were pretty OK. I talked about my experience and qualifications when I had the chance (they wouldn't let me talk as much I as would like to, they talked a lot!!), they talked about the company and the group and so on...there were some technical questions about my work, what I thought about doing some other different reactions in my work for example, and questions about leadership, working in groups, etc... I had many questions but didn't get the chance to ask many. Finally I met with the HR human that explained me the benefits. They contacted me by email (a very rude email, considering that I had sent thank-you letters by mail to all of them) about 2 weeks later saying that they wouldn't extend me a job offer.

      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Dow (Pasadena, CA) in Apr 2019

      Interview

      Dow sent a representative to my University and interviewed me about my research. Overall, the interviewer was incredibly corporate and didn't ask good questions. I never received a follow up from the interview even though I followed up with two emails. Unprofessional behavior.

      I applied through college or university. Four weeks later I was selected to be interviewed at Dow (Midland MI) in September 2018. The process was pretty average, the on-campus interview was about 40% research and 60% general behavior questions (7-8 questions in total). For the on-site interview, I was asked to do a 45 min presentation and 15 min Q&A, followed by several 1:1 interview, both technical and behaviors questions were asked. The hiring team and recruiters were very great throughout the process.
