I had an onsite interview in October 2025. When I arrived at the security desk, they asked for my driver's license. I questioned this, stating that my driver's license contains personal information that shouldn't be shared before an offer is made, and offered my TWIC card instead, which is a federal ID requiring fingerprints. LyondellBasell insisted on the driver's license for me to proceed with the interview, so I provided it as I needed the job.

Coding Technical Behavioral Presentation
I got this job through my university, and honestly, the whole experience was pretty good. They had an HR person waiting outside, which I think was kind of a hidden test. He chatted with us casually, but I bet he was judging us the whole time. Anyway, he was chill, and it was a great experience overall.
