I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Evonik (Mobile, AL) in Jan 2014
Interview
It went well. Took the test, 3 different interviews with several superintendents from different units to see if i would be a good candidate for them. It was somewhat intimidating but I made it though.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have I ever had to make a high level decision that could affect any sort of process involving multiple people.
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Evonik in Jul 2017
Interview
Das Vorstellungsgespräch fand telefonisch mit mehreren Personen statt. Am Anfang wurden zunächst meine bisherigen Erfahrungen abgefragt und schließlich ein Projekt vorgestellt, welches im Laufe des Praktikums bearbeitet werden sollte. Nach dem Gespräch, welches sehr positiv verlief, bekam ich einige Wochen später leider eine Absage, weil die HR Abteilung dem Praktikum nicht zugestimmt hat.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Evonik in Apr 2018
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter who found my resume on Indeed.
Pro: The recruiter told me about other opportunities that may interest me and later I interviewed for that position.
Con: The recruiter was 20 minutes late to the phone interview. The recruiter looked at my resume for the first time halfway through the interview. After the interview, I was told a second behavioral interview would happen, but every week when I ask the recruiter, the recruiter says the behavioral recruiter will contact you soon. I am assuming that this interview will not move forward.

Question 1
I was asked how many years I had experience with X or questions on a scale from 1-10 how comfortable was I with Y. It felt like the recruiter was just checking boxes.
There were a few questions about specific positions from my resume , but it was very high level.
