I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Dow (Hayward, CA) in May 2009
Interview
Bunch of layers, phone interview, then a few 1st level managers. It was no problem to pull the wool over their eyes just review for questions for check the box questions. No technical questions whatsoever.
Easy to fly through, but the background check is deep so be careful about what exaggerations you have on your resume.
Had one interview onsite that lasted about 1.5 hours. I interviewed in front of a panel of four people. Each person asked questions. They asked interview questions and then walked around the facility.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Dow (Plaquemine, LA) in Jan 2025
Interview
The hiring process consisted of a single interview with a panel of four people, each asking behavioral-based questions. I was able to gain a clear understanding of the role, job expectations, and company culture. By asking detailed questions at the end, I left the interview with a solid picture of what working there would be like. Overall, it was a good experience.

Question 1
Can you describe a time when you worked in a group—either at school or work—where team members had differing opinions on how to approach a task? How did you navigate the situation, and what steps did you take to reach a final decision?
There was a screening process followed by a interview process. Screening was 15 minutes and the interview was 45 minutes. They had a specific list of questions that they asked, and requested that I utilize the STAR method to answer them.
