Application

I interviewed at BASF (Detroit, MI) in Mar 2023

Interview

They tell me on a Friday afternoon after working hours that I have an interview on Tuesday.During the process they ask you in the initial interview how many day’s notice you need to give to be able to come in for an interview and I said 5.I request the Tuesday off on Monday morning and get denied the request because it’s one day before the day I need off.I email the recruiter and hear back that they’d see what they can do about rescheduling it.I don’t hear anything all week until I follow up on a Friday and get an email saying they have suspended interviews for this position and will contact me if they open back up. Then I get an email later in the day saying I’m no longer under consideration for the job. The whole process is not well thought out and trying to communicate with someone in Uruguay during the interview process isn’t exactly ideal. For being a billion dollar company they really seem lacking in the communication department.

Interview

I had a really smooth interview process at the company's office. I arrived before my scheduled interview time and checked in easily. I was then directed to a cozy waiting room where I relaxed for a few minutes before being called for my interview just 10 minutes later. The interview lasted around 45 minutes and consisted of questions about my previous role and behavioral questions. However, despite the rigorous nature of the interview, everyone I met was friendly and welcoming. Overall, I had a very positive experience during the interview process.

Interview Questions
  • Tell me a little about yourself. Which skills would you say are critical for working with a team? Can you give me an example of a difficult problem you solved at work? How did you go about reaching a solution? Tell me about a time when you made a mistake. How did you handle this experience? Tell me about a time when you had to develop a new skill. How do you approach the learning process? Tell me about a time when you had a task to complete with a tight deadline. Tell me about a time when you experienced conflict at work. How did you overcome it? Tell me about a time when you were under a lot of stress. How did you handle this pressure? Tell me about your greatest professional failure and how you recovered.
