I applied online. I interviewed at Dow (Lake Jackson, TX) in May 2021
Interview
First you're in a room with other people. They go over a little bit of the company's history pay and benefits. Then you take the ACT test. This test doesn't make much sense. They say it's for critical thinking but that's a stretch. It asks 34 questions and you have 54 mins to finish. My issue is that only 5 questions were related to a process operator. 10 were common sense. Like which tool is the best for the job or the proper way to use this tool. The rest were how to fix a motor on a conveyor belt. The best place to install a pipe on a golf course. What does this part on a solar panel do? How much antifreeze should use mixed with water if the temp drops to -15 degrees. You invented this electric car how do you make it work properly if this happens? I wanted to raise my hand and ask, Do you need a process operator or a mechanic/plumber/electrician/engineer? Because I don't remember taking any of these classes when I got my degree. I just took this test and now waiting to hear back in 2 weeks.

Question 1
I haven't gotten to that part because I wanted to give people a heads up on that test. I'm not sure you can study it. I guess you could by learning all the trades I mentioned.
I applied online. I interviewed at Dow (New Orleans, LA) in Mar 2026
Interview
focus heavily on safety mindset, behavioral scenarios (STAR method), and technical competency, often involving HR screens, technical panels, and, for operators, shift flexibility discussions. Candidates should expect questions on handling crises, teamwork, and proactive problem-solving.

Question 1
Describe a time when you were not pleased with your performance. Describe what you did and why?
Not looking to hire straight males. They are all about the gays. Felt overlooked. It’s a shame that these companies are shoving the gay agenda down your throats. My interviewer was a young chick and I talked to several people who work out there and said all they hire is gay females lately.

Question 1
Question about heat exchangers, relief valves, and job experience.
The first round of questions were typical interview questions. But the second round of interviewers asked questions that were somewhat discriminatory in nature where they tried to figure out your age.
