I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at BASF in Nov 2023
Interview
I have never seen a company move so slow, it took 3 months from application until interview. Was asked to prepare information to present.
Interview was very aggressive with many questions about a spectrum of behavioral, chemical, and others for almost an hour.
Received no follow up which is as discourteous as can be after asking for all the work and waiting. It certainly makes one think twice about the company in general.

Question 1
Explain a time where an issue came up with a product and how was this addressed scientifically and with a representative from that company
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BASF in Jul 2016
Interview
The interview process was very slow, took 3+ months. The onsite interview is very short and does not provide enough opportunity to learn about the position, team, or highlight your skills. Asked for a lab tour, none provided. Main HR person and interview team seemed very nice. Overall process was not personable. I asked for feedback after the interview and none was provided.
Interviewed with a panel of people in a conference room. Personal and technical questions but overall pretty laid back considering you are sitting across from three interviewers at once. It was enjoyable to do a tour of the labs and building afterwards
