      Senior Research Engineer Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Columbus, OH
      No offer
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Dow (Midland, MI) in Sept 2017

      Interview

      Dow Chemical has this on-campus recruiting every year in August. After initial resume screening, you'll be invited to talk to one or two engineers from Dow on your campus (~45 min long). If they like you and rate you top 1 or 2 out of 10, an on-site interview will be conducted in one or two of their sites. It's a full day interview starts with a 45 min technical presentation followed by 6-7 one on one interviews. The waiting period after that was brutal (mine lasted for 7 weeks), and you need patience. But an offer will be extended to you once they make up their minds. Overall it's a very stressful but also enjoyable process, you'll have the opportunity to meet a lot of top engineers in the field. People at Dow are very nice and smart, my overall suggestion is to be confident and well prepared.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Mostly technical questions, a few standard behavior questions.

      Interview

      Behavior questions mainly. The recruiter is a R&D director in one branch, and he type in all the info I talked, a little slow though. He started with a question of briefly introduce your own research in 8min. And followed by a series of behavior question. At the end, he end up with introducing how did this recruit process, how long will be the first round interview result come out.
