Interviewed Nov 2009 in Florham Park, NJ (took a day)
The process was standard for MBA hires. I had 2 on campus interviews and then approx 6 on-site interviews with diverse members of the BASF team including HR. The company seems a bit stuffy but that might be very group specific.

Interviewed Apr 2008 in Somerset, NJ (took a day)
I was given a quiz about general chemistry topics - Lewis diagrams, molarities, acids and bases, etc. They gave me an introduction to the chemistry behind what they do, and a tour of the lab. I met with 3 people. They didn't seem to care all that much about my background. Just showed up, and received an offer the following day.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in San Francisco, CA (took 2 months)
The process consisted of phone interviews, skills tests, and 2 in person interviews. I thought the process was well laid out for the most part. However, going from one interview to the next took a very long time. I did well on the skills tests and really impressed the interviewers. I did notice they had marketing materials out for those interviewees who were not prepared- FYI.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I declined the offer for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, I learned from my recruiter that I was competing with one of my colleagues at my present job who is not even 10% the candidate that I am. I felt that a company that can't see or evaluate talent right off the bat probably has issues in day to day operations. The other reason I declined was that the VP seemed to think that he was above all others instead of presenting himself as a team player. Our working relationship would have been strained if I had accepted. Weeks later I learned that my recruiter decided to not work with them anymore.
