Overall, the interview process was a very good experience. About one month after my on-campus interview at my university, I received a phone call from an HR rep inviting me for an on-site interview. The HR rep suggested a specific date a few weeks out and asked if it would work for me (rather than offering several dates and allowing me to choose). I agreed to the suggested date, but I did not at all get the impression that it would have been a problem if I needed a different date. Soon after this phone call, I received an email with all the details about what information was required of me and when it was needed, who my host would be, the general schedule for my trip, etc. Dow utilizes a travel agency to book all travel (and all costs are covered by Dow), so it was very easy and quick to book my airfare, hotel, rental car, etc. A couple days later, my host contacted me via email to introduce himself, provide contact information (which I already had from the HR rep), and offer to answer any questions I might have. About a week before my trip, I received a detailed itinerary for the interview, which consisted of meals with my host or other employees, a 1-hour seminar I was to deliver about my PhD research, and the remainder of the day being filled with 45-minute one-on-one "interviews" with various members or directors for the groups that were considering me as a candidate; typically, these one-on-one sessions were more or less informal discussions about my research and leadership experience with plenty of opportunities for me to ask questions, rather than formal interviews with a lot of "Tell me about a time when..." questions. All in all, I came away having learned a lot about the diversity of technical backgrounds of Dow employees as well as the many industries to which Dow R&D contributes. I was told they typically try to let candidates know if they will receive an offer or not "within a week or two".
