I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Air Products (Allentown, PA) in Nov 2011
Interview
I got a 1st round interview from the jobs website of my university. I got a call back after 2 weeks for a on-site interview. The interview process consists of dinner with the hiring manager and then a full day of interviews which starts with a 1 hour technical presentation, if you are a PhD student.
Most of the hiring managers are very intelligent and they seek a high focus on the big picture and how the technology development can impact the bottom line of the company as a whole. Out of the 5 interviews that i had I got very good feedback from 4 and 1 very negative feedback from the technical interview. The feedback I got was that i should have focused more on the technical aspects with people who are more interested in the technical aspects. Overall a very good interview experience.

Question 1
Have you ever thought about [ Insert a modification of your research question from your research presentation in the morning]? How would you go about solving it if you encountered such a problem
I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Air Products (Allentown, PA) in Dec 2018
Interview
I passed the 1st on campus interview. Then it took <2 weeks for them to invite me on-site. The interview team was very friendly and genuinely interested in knowing my background and skills. I did not get the job probably because they wanted someone with both modeling and experimental background but my thesis work was purely experimental. But it took only a week for them to reach the decision. And I'm glad they are very responsive.

I applied through university. I interviewed at Air Products in Oct 2013
Interview
People from air products come to my department to do recruiting for this CDP program and I got an interview. It was 45 minutes and was roughly divided into three quarters. The first round was about my research. They basically are interested in what exactly you did. I guess one should be able to explain their work in a way that normal people would understand. The second round was generally behavior type of question, where they asked about my leadership activities, team work experiences etc. The last 15 minutes I got chances to ask my own questions.
