I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Koch (Wichita, KS) in Sep 2018
Interview
I applied before the career fair at K-State in the fall. They hosted a meet and greet ice cream social the evening before the on campus interview.
That first interview was 30 minutes and strictly behavioral based so situations and how I handled it. Felt slightly negative at first with questions leaning towards times I failed, needed help from pier, and just topics that were not very happy or fun.
Next set of interviews were at Koch's headquarters in Wichita. Consisted of back-to-back 30 minute interviews with people in the IT department so slightly more related to the field and skills but still very situational based. These interviews were more conversational and more enjoyable than the first. We were told at the beginning of the day that we had been selected as the top 20% and that these interviews were less weeding out and more seeing where we would fit best.
HQ was a great place to interview and see the work environment.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Koch (Overland Park, KS) in Nov 2018
Interview
A Koch recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn and I then had two phone interviews. Both were with the hiring manager and the recruiter attended the first one. In both instances, I was contacted for next steps within days. And the recruiter responded to my emails in less than one day in all correspondence. Both individuals at Koch were pleasant and easy to deal with. Overall it was a very positive experience. I decided to stay in my current position but I have a very favorable view of working with Koch Industries.
