Diversity and inclusion are cornerstones of BASF’s corporate values. We stand by our promise to our customers, industry, society and each other to deliver our best, which includes fostering an inclusive workplace and encouraging real engagement among all out employees. BASF denounces racism and all forms of discrimination, both within our company and across our communities. We believe in the power of diversity and know it makes us stronger. We acknowledge and empathize with what our African-American colleagues have been confronted with in recent weeks: we see you, we hear you, and we are as committed as ever to the principles of equality, inclusion and fairness. #belongatBASF

I have been working at BASF full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Solid company, great benefits, treats people well, high quality people work here
Cons
Large multi national company can be lots of hierarchy can stop things from getting done
Application
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BASF.
Interview
I talked to the recruiters at my university's career fair. A couple weeks later I had a phone interview. The interview began with typical behavioral questions and then ended with some basic technical questions. I've found with internships and co-ops at BASF that the interviewers are also the direct supervisor of the position. Because of this, everyone can be asked different questions.
Interview Questions
Veteran Hiring Commitment
Committed to helping America's military veterans find work
Diversity Commitment
