I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Dow (San Jose, CA) in Sep 2015
Interview
Overall, it was a straightforward and pleasant process. Nothing unexpected, and the interviewers present were very open talking about their experiences at the company. The interview was a 2 on 1 interview. Just simple question and answer process. Not much real "conversation."
Was asked around 10 behavioral questions, and answered them very straightforwardly. Have STAR method answers prepared for the common answers and you'll do fine.
