I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ascend Performance Materials (Alvin, TX) in Jun 2018
Interview
The interview was laid back, dove right into the questions. I was interviewed in front of about 15 shift leads and a few HR members. They were hiring about 15 employees and interviewed roughly 50-60. There was a total of 200 people testing and of those 200 only 70 passed.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ascend Performance Materials (Cantonment, FL) in Jan 2022
Interview
There was testing required by the state (Florida) and a company test. All individuals I met were very professional and courteous. The overall process was about 4 weeks although worth it in my opinion. 10/10 rating for HR and their team.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Ascend Performance Materials (Chocolate Bayou, TX) in Feb 2013
Interview
They perform an ACT test and if you pass they interview you. It's a panel interview. The best example I can give is to Google the S.T.A.R. interview process. They were really friendly and made me feel comfortable during both interviews. There is a lot of paperwork that has to be submitted for the background check which is understandable but you want to respond to all emails as quickly as possible. I enjoyed the process. During my medical clearance testing I was able to meet people from all over the plant and everyone was friendly and seemed to really enjoy their jobs and the pay and benefits.

Question 1
When you are going up for a job like this you have to be ready for it all. I just received my A.A.S degree in Process tech and have no experience. They were able to ask questions about my current job to get the info they needed. As stated before, they made me super comfortable and I enjoyed the process. Most of the questions had to do with finding out if you can self-manage and how well you work in a high stress environment as well as how you work with others, especially negative co-workers.
