I was invited to interview with the company for their PDP internship program after speaking with recruiters at a campus career fair. I was given two interviews: one behavioral and the other technical. The company seemed very focused on processes rather than outcomes. They were willing to hire multiple engineering disciplines for the chemical engineering positions.
