I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Dow (Collegeville, PA)
Interview
First a screening phone interview. After that , one week later, I Met 4 engineers /project manager. Not a nice interview, some of them were kind of rude people. Reviewed Resume and asked some technical questions (not difficult questions, just ill-defined). They promised an answer within a week or two, never heard anything. Mailed the manager who first got me a phone interview twice and never replied.
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Dow
Interview
I applied through campus recruiting and interviewed with a local Dow engineer. I was interviewed for an engineering role in TX but it was filled by someone more immediate. HR was really easy to work with and held onto my application. I was invited to interview for different production engineering positions at a hiring expo in LA. Travel/hotel/food all paid for. Overall, interview questions were mostly behavioral and not too difficult (i.e. tell me a time when...). They even ask you beforehand to present your answer in the STAR format. During the break between interviews, a few engineers asked some basic technical questions related to chemical engineering. I was asked to rank the roles I interviewed for, and in the end I received an offer for my top choice.

Interview
Had an interview with a corporate employee at a career fair. Really enjoyed talking to her...didn't feel like an interview at all.
My second interview was at the plant. The weather was very rainy/gloomy so I got a plant tour in a car and met everyone at the plant I'd be working for. My interview team consisted of 3 employees - two leaders and a production engineer. Asked standard behavioral questions which lasted about 1-2 hours then they gave me an hour to ask questions. Company paid for my flight, hotel, rental car, and lunch. I really liked the people and what they had to say about the company. No technical questions
