Interview
The interview was partially behavioral (tell us about a time you made a difficult decision, etc) but partially "technical" in that the interviewer asked questions about if I had experience doing engineering tasks that I would perform if I got the role, ie how have your interactions with operators been, tell me about a time you improved a process using your own findings, etc. It was the first round interview, 1 hr in person. I have not heard back with an offer yet.

I applied through college or university. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Olin
Interview
Applied through my university's career fair. Scheduled an interview that same day and had the interview later that week. Did not get a word back for about 2 months. Didn't progress/receive an offer. Questions were typical behavior questions following STAR format. Interview was pleasant but wait time was frustrating.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Olin (Niagara Falls, NY) in Nov 2017
Interview
It was the first interview I had for an internship position and some of the questions they had asked caught me off guard. Other than that I believe If I had better prepared for it that I would've been offered a job. Overall, it was a good experience but be prepared to think fast and follow the STAR format.
