The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Dow (Midland, MI) in Nov 2009
Interview
This was from the result of a campus interview. My research presentation went well, I thought, as did some of the interviewers. This one manager in the audience kept shaking his head disagreeably the whole time (which was very rude) and asked questions which were completely unrelated to my research. In the question session after the presentation, he announced that I had not addressed the expectations that he had. He came in with some pre-conceived notions about what I would be presenting, stuff that I had not mentioned anywhere on my resume or presentation abstract.
The rest of the 1:1 interviews were ok, most people asked canned behavioral questions. Some scientists asked good questions, others were quite lame.
Midland is square central with a total of 3 places to eat downtown.

Question 1
What would you do if I gave you a million dollars to spend on any research project that you could?
Interview was ok. Gave 45 min presentation with approx 10 attendees and had personal interviews with approx 5 people. Don't remember much else unfortunately as this was a while ago.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Dow
Interview
Long but very useful. Met several stakeholders who gave a good overview of the process. At PhD level, you will have to present your work. Got a tour of the facility

What the greatest technical challenge and how did you go about solving it
On-site interview with multiple interviewers asking specific questions based on my resume and work related experience. Some behavioral type interview questions related to how I work with others and how I handle certain difficult situations
