Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. La procedura ha richiesto 2 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Arkema (King of Prussia, PA) nel mese di feb 2013
Colloquio
First had an on campus interview.
Two months later got invited for a on-site interview.
On site interview was from 8 am to 4:30 pm. One on one with Scientists, Managers, R&D directors and VP of research.
Left with a very good impression of the company.
I had read a lot of negative reviews. Talking with the people there during the interview process dispelled these. It looked like a company with a troubled past till 2010 but the company has been doing great since then. Employee satisfaction also has increased a great deal since 2010.

First, email invitation on on-site interview was received. During the on-site interview, there was a research presentation, followed by individual discussions with many scientists. Many questions were asked after presentations. Overall positive experience about the company!
