I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Dow (Austin, TX) in Oct 2013
Interview
So I spoke to them at our on-campus career fair, applied through my career center, and also applied on their website (which you are required to do in order to be considered).
I was chosen for an interview and there were two interviewers. Both who I had already seen at the info session the night before. They started off by introducing themselves, what their positions were at Dow and then they asked me the "tell me about yourself" question. After that, they go straight into the behavioral questions and they asked me either 4 or 5 behavioral questions in a 30 min interview. Some of the questions included (may not be completely accurate because this is off the top of my head):
-Describe a time when you promised more than you could achieve on a project and how you handled the shortcoming.
-Describe a time when you had to work with people from different backgrounds in order to complete a project.
-Describe a time when you didn't know the answer to something and how you sought about resolving it.
Can't remember if there was a fifth one, but after that they asked you if you had any questions to top off the interview.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Dow (Plaquemine, LA)
Interview
Mechanical engineering student here. Basic STAR behavioral interview. I recommend reading through Dow’s company values and emphasizing them during your interview. After the STAR questions, the interviewer showed me a diagram with a tank, some piping, supports, material info, etc and asked how I would troubleshoot a leak.

Question 1
Basically like “tell me about a time when you worked with a difficult team member, how did you resolve the issue?” STAR questions
Average for a student interview from a career fair, the panel was nice and asked reasonable and relevant questions. Pervious work experience was a major plus, primarily looking for rising Juniors or current sophomores.
Got selected for interview 3 weeks after applying. Interview was through webex with a panel. Was hard to interact with the 4 people since they all sat around a table and you couldn't make out their features. They were hiring for 3 positions so first each person went through theirs then they welcomed questions.
