First applied directly to Dow website and waited a month to hear back for a screening interview with HR. Following the screening I had a panel interview with the hiring manager and other folks from the site. Questions were direct about my experience in manufacturing and we were able to talk comfortably about the location as well. Seems to be a good fit with nice people!

I was contacted by HR and invited to an on-site interview a few weeks later. The interview was a panel behavioral interview with the people I'd be working with and under (4 people). They asked situation-specific questions about things I'd dome in the past that prove skill necessary for the job. Personally, I don't find behavioral interviews any more productive than a standard 1:1 becasue you can BS your way through and fabricate responses ar bend the truth.
I contacted the only interviewer who gave me his information a couple of times over the next month and finally HR called me to make an offer and schedule the drug screening.
Overall a pretty standard experience for a manufacturing company interview for an engineer. If you have no qualms with working in oil and gas though, head for that industry...the pay is way better...especially upstream.

Give an example of a time you had to find an innovative way to solve a problem.
Interview process is very organized. I went through a panel interview where I was asked behavioural questions. You need to make sure you prepare well and use the STAR method. All interviewers were nice.

Received a request for phone interview. Phone interview was a panel interview with 4 people from the company. Several behavioral questions asked related to the job position. Passed phone interview and was invited for a site visit, which was a more informal process to gauge site fit.
