Koch Industries Interview Questions

Application

I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Koch Industries (Wichita, KS) in October 2019.

Interview

There were two interviews. The first one was less than 30 minutes. There were a lot of behavioral STAR based questions guided towards seeing if you fit into the company culture. The second interview was at the Koch Campus in Wichita. The experience was great overall. There were 4 interviews for FT and 2 interviews for part time. I enjoyed each interview. Everyone was extremely conversational and did not make me feel like I was being interrogated.
Koch is extremely respectful of your time. The interview process was quick from interview to offer letter.

Interview

I had a positive experience at the site I interviewed and visited, but the HR staff in Kansas I corresponded with were rude, unresponsive, and did not make me feel valued. They refused to provide updates during a longer-than-usual interview process and showed no personality for being the face of a great company. Additionally, the HR rep knew very little about the Koch company I was interviewing for. After my in-person interview, HR refused to answer my emails when I asked about my interview process and could not provide any constructive feedback afterward. Maybe they should be reminded that they too were once job seekers and should respect candidates as such.

My advice: please treat job seekers with respect and be courteous. Job hunting in this market is stressful. If a candidate makes it as far to the interview stage, they did something right. Treat everyone like a potential employee and 'sell' your brand by building excitement for Koch Industries and represent your company's values.

Interview

I applied online and received a phone screen about 2 weeks later. Basic questions in the phone screen, like "Why Koch?" or "What are your salary expectations?". Only lasted about 10 minutes and was told i would be contacted to set up a interview. They called about a week later to schedule me for an in person interview at Koch in Wichita, KS. They told me who my interviewers would be, and sent me an email with all their information, like name and titles. There were 4 interviewers in total, all of which were managers in the department i was applying for. I was interviewed by 2 managers at a time for an hour each. So total of 2 interviews and 2 total hours. When i got to the facility they took me upstairs to an empty conference room and immediately started on the questioning. They both had copies of my resume with notes already written on them. They went on to explain that they would ask questions about my resume first then go into the standard questions. They each asked about certain skills or experiences i had on my resume, probably asked about 3 questions each just about my resume. They then went into the behavioral questions that seemed like forever to get through, They ask ALOT of the same questions in slightly different ways to see if you are being consistent. But in both interviews i probably answered 40 behavioral questions. The interviewers were very nice and welcoming, but they definitely had a sense that they were trying to find a flaw or catch you in something. it was more like they were trying to find a reason not to hire me rather than finding reasons to hire me. By the time i left they each had 2 pages of notes on my interview answers. I was very consistent in my answers and held my own very well i thought.

I could not seem to reach anyone regarding the interview process, the only item that I received was a video interview link which was very impersonal and did not allow me to interact with anyone.

Heavy emphasis on phone screen. Many different types of people that have abilities may not interview well. Great people and good candidates are being passed on very little information. Bl on no hi how
