Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at LyondellBasell.
Intern
I had a formal in-person interview with two reps who asked me questions from a packet. They wanted me to answer using the STAR method. Most of the questions were HR-related, not technical.
- Describe a situation where you lacked knowledge and explain your course of action.
Intern
The interview lasted for one hour. They talked about my personal background and asked for my thoughts on the chemical industry, its future development, and ESG issues. They also shared information about the company's history, products, and culture.
- Could you tell me about your educational background?
- Can you describe your previous internship experiences?
- How would you describe your understanding of LYB's business?
Intern
I applied online through my university’s website after meeting them at a career fair. I had an on-campus interview. There was a greeting room where I could chat with current full-time employees who were previous interns, and ask them questions (which is recommended because their feedback is considered). Two interviewers met with me and asked standard interview questions, focusing on behavior and my resume. I received an offer within a week, with a month to accept.
