I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at BASF (Florham Park, NJ) in Feb 2013
Interview
Applied online. About a month later, someone from HR contacted me for a phone interview, and a week later I was brought in for a group interview with the hiring manager, one of his peers and the hiring manager's boss. The three interviewers seemed extremely unorganized, but were and also very intimidating. The first thing I saw that that the hiring manager's boss had my entire resume, including my name, highlighted, so I knew I was in for a rough interview. They often talked over each other and did not allow me enough time to answer a question before one of the other 2 asked me another one. They were just firing out questions, from my resume to "what if" scenarios, like crazy. They just kept asking questions for the sake of asking questions. It was not a pleasant experience.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at BASF (Houston, TX) in Dec 2018
Interview
A BASF recruiter reached out via LinkedIn, he called me and we disucced the job description and salary expectations. After we agreed, he submitted me to the hiring manager. I had a phone/video interview first where I had to provide an example of a project I worked on. After that, I made it to the final step which was 3 "get to knows " with some stakeholders. These were very easy and conversational in nature. 2 were over the phone and one was in person at the Houston office. I received an offer shortly after and negotiated for a higher salary and sign on bonus which I then accepted.

Completed e-interview first, which only 10 minutes or so. Then had an in person interview with two employees from the department applied to plus one HR rep. It did take a pretty long time to hear back officially however I was pretty sure of the outcome upon leaving the interview anyway.
