      Principal Scientist Interview

      Apr 8, 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Research Triangle Park, NC
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at BASF (Research Triangle Park, NC)

      Interview

      Filled out on-line questionaire. Made sure to include keywords that matched posting. Pretty straight forward in-person, competncy-based interview. Met with management, colleagues, and HR. Each interviewer asked questions about different competncies. No presentation required.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      HR had much broader questions that required several responses after narrowing the focus. Nothing difficult, just the way the questions were presented and the HR person interviewing seemed to be a bit mechanical.
