Interviewed May 2011 in Baytown, TX (took 3 days)
Three employees interviewed me and asked basic behavioral questions. No testing, no phone interview. At first, I thought Air Products was going to be an amazing, fun, exciting career.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Allentown, PA (took a day)
I interviewed for the CDP program, which hired recent graduates. The candidates were split into groups of 3 for interviewing. Then, each candidate in the group had a one-hour interview with 2 employees at a time. The candidates rotated until we had met with all 3 groups of 2 interviewers (6 total interviewers). Depending on time of day, lunch may break up the process. It took several weeks to hear back with an offer or declination.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Allentown, PA (took a day)
Interviewed on-campus with a senior engineer from the company. Questions were much as expected: we discussed my research and interests, as well as some specific experiences I've had (these were the behavioral-based questions). The interviewer was very kind and friendly. One month after the interviewer I received a standard email response indicating I would not be invited for an on-site interview: "We do not believe we have a position that would use your capabilities and potential to the fullest advantage."

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Allentown, PA (took a day)
I got a 1st round interview from the jobs website of my university. I got a call back after 2 weeks for a on-site interview. The interview process consists of dinner with the hiring manager and then a full day of interviews which starts with a 1 hour technical presentation, if you are a PhD student.
Most of the hiring managers are very intelligent and they seek a high focus on the big picture and how the technology development can impact the bottom line of the company as a whole. Out of the 5 interviews that i had I got very good feedback from 4 and 1 very negative feedback from the technical interview. The feedback I got was that i should have focused more on the technical aspects with people who are more interested in the technical aspects. Overall a very good interview experience.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took a day)
My interview took place on Campus, 2 days after the career fair. I was offered an interview when I was talking to one of the representatives from their booth. The interview was not the same person that I talked to at the booth. He had list of 10 questions, asked me "What do you know about Air products, our products, service ..etc." "Why do you want to work for Air Products" "Tell me about your past work experiences" "What are 3 qualities of a leader" "What are qualities of an engineer" "Tell me about a time where you had to come up with creative design"

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took a day)
Called for an interview. Started with a presentation and met with a few folks on-site. After meeting members from different teams, I met with HR who went over the details of the position and the benefits. Lots to look forward to but the manager did not seem to take a lot of interest in the people within her group Hence accepted a competing offer.

Interviewed Dec 2008 in Allentown, PA (took 2 days)
Following an on-campus interview, I was contacted by HR staff at Air Products to arrange an on-site interview. Air Products allowed a reasonable window for setting up the on-site. I was asked to give a 45 minute technical seminar, followed by about 15 minutes of questions - pretty typical for PhD interviews. The seminar was very well attended and the questions were good - a sign that the right people were in the room and that good communication was occurring within the company. The seminar was followed by 5 interviews with technical or group leads in various areas of Air Products. Lunch was on-site in the cafeteria with a current CDP participant. Lunch was low-key and a good chance to catch a bit of "rest". I found the interviews to be pretty straightforward. Some interviewers hit technical topics, but I never felt grilled. I did feel that I had a reasonable opportunity to highlight the technical areas I wanted highlighted. There were plenty of opportunities to talk about past experience and thesis-related information.

Reason for Declining
The offer was very competitive in terms of salary/bonus and Allentown if really a nice location, with great proximity to big cities, but in a less crowded area; however, I felt that I made better connections with individuals from another chemical company during the recruitment process. I think that some of this is due to the nature of the career development program, where you do not have one direct hiring manager. It was a difficult decision, and I would certainly recommend a close look at Air Products based on my experiences working with them through the interview process.
