It was a campus interview and I applied online. Very good experience and lots of behavioral questions. Usually interested in your previous experience and projects. It was more like a conversion and really enjoyable.
Straightforward and transparent with a strong focus on technical capabilities and knowledge. Presentation on past experience is par for the course as well as 1:1 interviews with team members. First round was virtual followed by an in-person interview.

How would you characterize your ability to multitask
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Dow (Midland, MI)
Interview
First did an on-campus interview through my university; roughly ~2 weeks later was invited for an on-site interview at the Midland, MI site. On-site, I gave a 45 minute seminar on my previous research with a Q&A portion, then did one-on-one interviews with members of the groups I would be joining (four 30-60 minute interviews per group). These mostly asked traditional behavioral questions, with very few technical questions.
