I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BASF in July 2011
Interview
Very informal 1 on 1 interview. Covered research background, resume details, potential projects, schedule for the internship, company information, and normal payment range. Got this interview after several rounds of email exchanges.
Interviewed on campus after a career fair. The interview was conducted in two parts, with two separate interviews. One part was behavioral with standard questions and one was technical just assessing your reasoning skills.

Once they choose the person they want, they discard the others too easily.

Question 1
tell us about yourself, your resume and motivations
There are two rounds of interview. Both were chill. The first round was more about behavioral questions，such as what is your strength， can you use three words to describe youself. Second round was with line managers, with more professional job-related questions.
