I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Arkema (París) in Oct 2013
Interview
I had 3 interviews:
- First one with a recruitment specialist, asking lots of behavioral questions about my background. She was also trying to get to know me better and to see if I could fit with the culture.
- Second one with my future boss. More classic, some questions of my proudest achievements and so on.
- Third one with my boss supervisor. Felt like a discussion, not like an interview. I felt quite comfortable and in a positive environment.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Arkema (King of Prussia, PA) in Jul 2016
Interview
Multiple interviews without any follow up
Recruitment leader never followed up or responded
Rudest people I have ever encountered. There was no follow up by them at all. The interview room was damp and musty.
They have many jobs posted and expect they will get low quality people with this unprofessional approach.
We are very sorry to hear that. I've asked my colleagues from KoP and this recruitment does not ring a bell to them. Could you please give me more information? You can contact us at this address: careers@arkema.com
Please note that in US, our teams try to get back to candidates in a very timely manner. In some circumstances the hiring decision may be delayed due to budget constraints for waiting upon possible internal movement.

Interview
I interviewed with five different people in the same day. They gave me a lot of information regarding their role and about the position I applied for. The atmosphere was laid back. Overall, I thought it was a good experience even though I was not offered the position.
