Interviewed Apr 2012 in Bellevue, WA (took 2 days)
After applying online through my college listserv I received an email inviting me to do a phone interview with a manager at the company. The phone interview was about 20 minutes and consisted of the usual behavioral-based interview questions. The manager then asked what I was expecting for a salary for the position and what path I would like to take in the company. After that I was invited by the manager and HR via email to come in for an in-person interview which would last up to three hours. There were a series of brief interviews with several managers from each department (usually 2-3 people at once) and each one asked similar questions to the phone interview ("describe a time when..." etc.). I got the vibe that they were really looking for someone upbeat and with a lot of energy.
I was then told that they would all convene and make a decision within the week. I heard back within 48 hours with an offer and they let me know that they were conducting an extensive background check (hire was dependent upon passing this). They called every one of my previous employers and references so make sure you are as accurate as possible!

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took a day)
The HR transfered the scheduling of interview to an intern, and there were a few miscommunication due to the difference of timezone. However, the interview went fairly smooth with fairly easy personal questions. Be sure to read all the reviews on Glassdoor.com about the questions asked because they are pretty accurate.
Also, make sure that you show enough interest in sales and confidence in talking through the phone since the job is about sales over the phone. Don't think about it if you are looking for a hands-on engineering job.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 3 weeks)
Long process, two phone interviews and half day at the office. Most employees were very respectful and pleasant. One business director was very unprofessional, didn't pay attention, interacted with co-workers through the window of the interview office while I was answering questions, at one point pretended to doze off. Bad sign of leadership and character when a Business Director behalves like a juvenile during an interview whether they are engaged or not. Met with several people, difficult to continue after the negative experience with the previously mentioned interviewer. Overall, the process was fair an thorough.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Bellevue, WA (took 3 weeks)
The interview process was lengthy to say the least. It consisted first of an initial screening interview with one of Chempoint's in-house staffing specialists. Two weeks later I had a phone interview with an executive. This interview was rescheduled twice before I could actually speak with someone. Both of these interviews seemed to go well and I was invited to an in-person interview. This consisted of interviews with two groups of two, followed by a job shadow, some HR paperwork, and a final interview with two more people. Time management is obviously an issue at Chempoint as they scheduled three hours for the process and couldn't get to the interview. The office was beautiful and in a great location but the position itself was somewhat mindless and the staff had a bit of a cult mentality,

Phone interview was mainly behavioral questions. Why ChemPoint? What experience do you have? How would you resolve conflicts?

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Bellevue, WA (took 5 days)
Received an offer for a phone interview and went through some preliminary questions and how much the job paid. Interview was pretty typical asking general questions and how your previous experiences can benefit you for the job you are applying for. How did your previous help you overcome certain obstacles. There was a powerpoint that was sent explaining what the company does.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Bellevue, WA (took a day)
Chempoint wants to see individuals with enthusiastic attitudes and a good knowledge of their business model. Be sure to be able to answer the question, "Why sales?". my interview was with two upper level managers. If they see that you are a good company fit and you express interest in a career with them long term, you have a good shot.

Had one nice phone interview and after about a week or so had another. Very nice to talk to. Mostly learning about the company and what they were looking for. They were looking to find out exactly what I was looking for as well. Ended after the second phone interview. No offer
