I went to a career fair at my school and spoke the UOP people. Two were nice and friendly. However, the thrid one was the most terrible person I have ever met in my life. He was the manger of a research team and wanted to recruit people to his new team at Houston. He joked about my degree and said he would never hire someone with a Master degree. I totally understand that R&D is looking for PhDs but you shouldn't look down at people with Masters. We worked hard to earn it. He was just so arrogant and impolite. I at least should earn some respects from you as an individual even I probably was not a competitive candidate. I will never ever apply to UOP and will discourage my PhD friends to work for them. Yes, I do have PhD friends and they never think I am stupid.

Great. Standard behavioral questions. A little bit of technical questions-- understand basic process units (e.g distilators, separators, mixers). Understand P&IDs, PFDs, and basic safety stuff (SOPs, MOCs, LCAs, RCAs). Be social, do not be shy. Show leader qualities.
