I applied online. I interviewed at Evonik in Sep 2020
Interview
First contacted by email, recruiter. Then phone call with Hiring Manager; third step panel interview with 5 different executives. I followed up several times, only to hear that 'going with other candidates'. 2 years later, a new recruiter contacted me again for the same position on LinkedIn.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a challenging situation that you faced during your professional experience
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Evonik (Detroit, MI) in Nov 2022
Interview
Had initial phone calls with talent management and the hiring manager. This was followed up by virtual panel interviews with a cross functional global team. Shortly thereafter I had a face to face interview with the hiring manager. An offer was presented within a few days with some subsequent negotiation. While the offer was fair and my experience with the hiring team was excellent, I ended up taking another opportunity that was more aligned to my passions and skillset. Overall, this interview experience was really good. I will be keeping my eye on Evonik in the future

Question 1
Very typical interview questions asking about background, experiences, skills. Situational and behavior question answering tactics (i.e. STAR) will suit you fine.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Evonik (Paramus, NJ) in Feb 2017
Interview
Applied online and received a follow-up email to set up a call about 3 weeks later. Had a screening call with the hiring manager, standard screening questions-tell me about yourself, why Evonik, why this sector, what's exciting. Passed the screening and was sent to an in-person interview with 5 different employees: the hiring manager, his boss, a lateral colleague, and 2 HR reps.
