Intern at SABIC
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Selkirk, NY Oct 2011 – Reviewed Jun 12, 2012
Interview Details – I applied through my college's online application system. The interview was conducted by an alumni so it wasn't too intimidating. I thought the interview went decent and I ended up getting an offer. Questions are pretty straight forward and related to work ethic, skills, interests, experience, etc....no brainteasers. Working there now the people are great and the work culture is awesome. The interviewer reflected well the environment of the company.
Interview Question – What's something that you aren't good at? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – This was my first internship and paid technical position so I didn't feel I had any choice in negotiating

Interview Details – General Manager was late to the interview and seemed like he couldn't wait to get away and do something else. Does he treat his customers this way. HR does not return follow up call I made. You have to treat everyone with courtesy, not just your customers.

Platform Chemist at SABIC
No Offer – Interviewed in Mount Vernon, IN Dec 2011 – Reviewed Feb 10, 2012
Interview Details – Most of the 1 on 1 interviews were fine. I had a more technical 1 on 1 interview with a guy who was a huge jerk. I wouldn't ever want to work with someone like that. I don't care how smart you are, if you are a jerk I'm not working for you.

Supply Chain at SABIC
Declined Offer – Interviewed in Pittsfield, MA Sep 2009 – Reviewed Mar 31, 2010
Interview Details – Initially contacted via email for phone interview - phone interview was professional but short - had a difficult time getting the true sense of the job. Follow interview was a full day interview with 12 people - way too many - I found myself repeating to 12 different people. People were very professional - very direct with questions - want specific examples - office was impressive - modern with an on site gym. Culture was hard to assess - got different answers.
Interview Questions
- Tell me about a colleague you did not get along with - and why were you unable to turn the relationship around Answer Question
- You are given a choice of a vacation in Paris or Los Angeles - which do you choose? Answer Question
Reason for Declining – Counteroffer from present company

ODP at SABIC
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Chicago, IL Aug 2007 – Reviewed Nov 14, 2009
Interview Details –
My first interview was with the hiring manager for the position. He was not available on site the day of my planned site visit so the phone interview was my only interview with him. At the site visit I had 4 interviews that were all behavioral based interviews where they asked about my past experience both technical and non-technical (i.e. leadership).
Make sure you know your resume pat and why you want the job. Not difficult but lack of preparation will put you out of the running.
Interview Question – Tell me about a personal failure and how did you deal with it. Answer Question
