Grueling 6+ hour interview with staunch republican atmosphere. Interviewers were extremely focused, but all asked the same basic questions as if from a script.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Wichita, KS (took a day)
Applied at campus career fair and got an initial interview on campus. They were also very nice to have a social before interview. All of them on our campus were alumni who work for Koch. During the 30mins interview I was talking with a vice-president, who graduated from our department. The talk was very nice which consists of behavior based questions and also market (demand/supply) analysis on agricultural industry. We also talked about policy issues. He seemed like me. However I did not get a further interview and do not know why.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Wichita, KS (took 2+ weeks)
One thirty minute interview on campus. Less than a week later, I was invited to the on-site second interview at Koch Industries. This on-site consisted of two 45 minute interviews. My interviewers were both managers. Less than a week later, I got a call from Koch and was offered an internship. They give students a bit of time to finish interviewing with the other companies first, if students applied with other accounting firms, before students have to make a final decision to accept or reject the offer. All the interviews were packed with behavioral based questions. There were a couple questions that I got asked twice by different interviewers.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
Applied through a university career site and was accepted for an initial interview. Relatively short an informal. Consisted primarily of behavioral questions with a small technical part at the end where he drew out a simple diagram on paper and said that two customers of equal priority ordered a certain product and we could not produce enough to meet the needs of both on time. asked how it should be handled and had me draw out a simple schematic regarding the supply routing, it was relatively basic.

Koch has a very nice corporate office on the northwest side of Wichita, KS. Employees seemed generally happy and please to work for Koch. They seemed to also be well compensated for their work with Koch Industries. The work culture was very personal, down to earth and friendly.

I had a 30 minute phone interview with this company. The questions were about how I handled difficult situations, people, etc. as well as what my strengths and weaknesses were. None of them had anything to do with whether or not I could do the job.
