I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Koch (Wichita, KS) in Oct 2011
Interview
Koch has a very nice corporate office on the northwest side of Wichita, KS. Employees seemed generally happy and please to work for Koch. They seemed to also be well compensated for their work with Koch Industries. The work culture was very personal, down to earth and friendly.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Koch (Atlanta, GA) in Aug 2011
Interview
Someone called me from the headquarters in Kansas and conducted a phone interview. They called me a few days later to schedule an interview in the office. The interview lasted 3 hours. Interviewed in 45min increments with 2 people in the first set and one in the other 3. The last conversation was through the HR person in Kansas to wrap things up; I asked her how long it will take to find out as well as how many people interviewed (in this case, 3). The questions are based on situational events you have gone through. They'll ask a situational question, and you have to tell them the incident, your behavior, and the end result. This went through all 5 people I interviewed with. They called me a week later to tell me that they had offered it to someone else.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Koch (Houston, TX) in Oct 2010
Interview
I applied online and within 2 weeks I was informed that I was selected to take part in a telephone interview within the next few days. They were very accommodating to my work schedule and the telephone interview lasted about 25 minutes...mainly we discussed why I chose Koch, what were my salary requirements, and what was I planning for my career. My in-person interview lasted about 4 hours and I was interviewed by 5 different people on the trading floor whom, if I got the position, I would be working with daily. The interview was very extensive but offered me an in-depth look at the people who make the company.
