Interviewed Apr 2012 in Des Plaines, IL (took 1 week)
I was initially contacted by phone by an HR representative who described the company and asked simple questions about my background. Then, they flew me out to their office about a week later. I was given presentation of company. My impression was that the employees seem to have opportunity to travel a lot. A panel of 3 interviewed me, questions primarily behavioral, e.g. how do you manage your time? what is your most difficult/favorite class? etc. Overall, they were very nice and made me feel comfortable.

Interviewed Feb 2012 (took a day)
very relaxing interview. two persons interviewed me. quite standard interview questions about why i want to join and whether I am physically and mentally prepared for the job as it requires 100% travel.
they are recruiting only 1 people so they are really looking for candidates with passion and determination to go through the whole 5 year program.
Need to know some basic technical answers like refinery and distillation. but only 1-2 questions about technical area.
the whole interview is around 45 min. Enough time to demonstrate who you are. very relaxing environment. can probe the interviewers during the questions at the end of the interview. as i was not selected, not sure how they chose people.

Very easy going interview. They flew me to Des Plaines, Il and paid for a hotel. The interview was a simple 30 minute interview with the rest of the day consisting of presentations and a tour of the pilot plant.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Des Plaines, IL (took a day)
I was referred to them through a colleague. I received an informal interview by phone to gauge my interest in the position. The following week had a more formal interview and was scheduled for an onsite interview. The onsite interview commenced with a short tour of the facility and then about an hour presentation in front of many members of the technical staff. Following in the presentation I had a hour and a half discussion with a panel of experts. The questions were difficult and they tried to probe what I did and didn't know. When I didn't know they tried to determine whether or not I could figure out the answer to a problem. Very fast paced, very technically oriented discussion. Following lunch, I was given a more comprehensive tour of the facility and then met with the hiring manager for an hour. The one-on-one seemed to probe personality and my wanted to determine how bad I really wanted to work there. After that had one final meeting with my soon-to-be boss and it was over. Almost exactly one week later I received a phone call asking me if I wanted to work with them. I happily accepted.

Negotiation Details
Awkward, simply because I am not good at negotiating. I would recommend that people be fully able to substantiate their requested salary to the hiring manager.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took a day)
They brought us in for an intern day where we had wonderful tours and a great lunch. Then they had split us up into groups and had us interview at different times. The interview was pretty easy if you are outgoing and can just talk their ears off. They like to ask questions about group work and difficult situations. Overall, just let them hear what they want to hear.

Reason for Declining
A lot of traveling is required for the full time. As a younger intern they only want you to record data for them. Overall, it seemed like you would be more of a personal assistant than an intern.

The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took a day)
Most of the first interview was done on the computer, mock phone calls with muti choice answers, which took an hour or so , then was told to come back in 2 weeks for a second interview. The interviewer mostly just looked at the scores from the test to determine if a second interview would be granted, the second interview is a bahavioral base interview.

Interviewed Feb 2009 (took 2+ months)
Slow. They want qualified applicants but do not want to pay for them. They are also pulling in expats to save money and using locals with less experience. This will really only serve to make unhappy clients as their sales people are too far away or do not have enough experience as to how the company works.
Reason for Declining
Cheap company, unhappy employees

I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.
