I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at LyondellBasell (Houston, TX)
Interview
The interview was meant to be an hour long. However, the interview went half an hour over. The setting was very calm and relaxed. The questions were all behavioral and the interaction was very smooth. Did not feel rushed or nervous. Felt as if I was actually interviewing the company for whether it is the right place for me or not.

1 on campus interview. 1 person interviewing you. Mostly standard "describe a time when.." type questions. One of the things they look for is company knowledge. They only hire co-ops, not interns.
