I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BASF (Suffolk, VA) in Mar 2021
Interview
The first 30 minutes you are interviewed by 4 managers and the last 15 minutes you talk with HR and the president. They were nice and the interview was easy. You should know your basics (titration, chromatography, etc)

Question 1
Tell me about yourself and your previous work experience.
Why would you be a good fit for this job
How do you feel about working 12 hour shifts
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at BASF in Nov 2023
Interview
I have never seen a company move so slow, it took 3 months from application until interview. Was asked to prepare information to present.
Interview was very aggressive with many questions about a spectrum of behavioral, chemical, and others for almost an hour.
Received no follow up which is as discourteous as can be after asking for all the work and waiting. It certainly makes one think twice about the company in general.

Question 1
Explain a time where an issue came up with a product and how was this addressed scientifically and with a representative from that company
Interviewed with a panel of people in a conference room. Personal and technical questions but overall pretty laid back considering you are sitting across from three interviewers at once. It was enjoyable to do a tour of the labs and building afterwards
