I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Albemarle (Baton Rouge, LA) in Oct 2011
Interview
Recruited at my college career fair. There were 2 days of interviews, each 1 hour long. The first day was largely technical, with questions abut Raolt's law, thermodynamics, and reactor design. The second day was behavioral. The work culture doesn't seem fast paced. Unique coworker relationships can be built, though, because the company is so small and everyone works in teams. There is great visibility to the management in baton rouge, too, where the CEO walks through the same halls as everyone else.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Albemarle
Interview
I applied on my school's website. Received a phone interview. It was a normal phone interview. They asked about what I was looking for, explained what they offer as a company and asked about my experience.
1-2 weeks later they let me know that they wanted to conduct an in-person interview at the plant. I met with various people individually and they all asked technical questions and told me what to expect out the company. They were all professional and made me feel like they would be good to work with.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I am not sure about other positions, but for the process engineer position, I was asked about my previous technical projects (whats the most innovative solution you've come up with, most complex spreadsheet, most challenging project). They also asked about engineering fundamentals (what is reynolds number used for, how to get more production rate, how to size a pump, etc.).
I applied online. I interviewed at Albemarle in Mar 2021
Interview
Since it was during Covid, I did a phone interview with the manufacturing manager. I was told I would hear back in 3-4 weeks, but I didn’t get a response until I reached out to them again.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Albemarle (Gainesville, FL) in Sep 2015
Interview
I got the interview from university career fair and talked with one engineer from the company. He first gave a brief introduction about the company and the jobs roles. Then he asked some questions, both technical and nontechnical. I'd say the questions were not difficult if you were familiar with what you have listed on your resume.
