I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Dow (Houston, TX) in May 2013
Interview
My interviews were mostly done over the phone. I got a few calls then an offer. The phone calls averaged about 15 to 30 minutes with no technical questions whatsoever. Once the phone call was completed, they would give me feedback and tell me whether or not I should expect another call.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you benefit the company during your time as a co-op if you were hired?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Dow (Plaquemine, LA)
Interview
Mechanical engineering student here. Basic STAR behavioral interview. I recommend reading through Dow’s company values and emphasizing them during your interview. After the STAR questions, the interviewer showed me a diagram with a tank, some piping, supports, material info, etc and asked how I would troubleshoot a leak.

Question 1
Basically like “tell me about a time when you worked with a difficult team member, how did you resolve the issue?” STAR questions
Average for a student interview from a career fair, the panel was nice and asked reasonable and relevant questions. Pervious work experience was a major plus, primarily looking for rising Juniors or current sophomores.
Got selected for interview 3 weeks after applying. Interview was through webex with a panel. Was hard to interact with the 4 people since they all sat around a table and you couldn't make out their features. They were hiring for 3 positions so first each person went through theirs then they welcomed questions.
