      Engineering Co-Op Interview

      Nov 6, 2011
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Dow in Oct 2011

      Interview

      From the start, Dow Chemical was very professional. It felt like a longshot to get hired, but I figured I'd seek them out at the career fair anyway and try my best. The recruiters knew a lot about the company and had answers to all my questions about promotion, atmosphere, and tuition assistance. My GPA was on the lower end, but they didn't seem to mind and were more interested in my experiences and my personality. Got a call a week later asking to set up an on-campus interview. The interviewer was the same man I spoke to at the career fair. He was very intelligent, young, and enthusiastic about Dow Chem. Made it seem like a great place to work. The interview itself was very regimented. The interviewer/recruiter had a packet, and on each page was a question and space for note taking. That part went very smoothly. There was also time for us to talk about my classes, how school was going, and about Dow as well. He answered all of my additional questions and clearly knew a lot about the company and had positive things to say about what it is like being an employee. I was told that they would get back to me within two weeks. Didn't hear anything at the end of two, so I sent an inquiry email. A week later I got a generic email response saying they were finishing up the selection process and would have a decision by the next week. So, four weeks after the interview, I got a phone call with a job offer, followed by an email with the official offer. Advice: Be personable. It seems that they value employees that will fit in and will work well in a team. They didn't care too much about my one poor grade and focused more on what I liked to do, and what experiences had prepared me for a co-op position.

      Easy interview

      Application

      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.

      Interview questions [1]

      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 interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Dow (Midland, MI)

      Interview

      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.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Dow

      Interview

      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.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Basic behavioral questions. Asked about skills relevant to the job (Solidworks).
