Topiary had the dreaded Fortune 500 company interview. And amazingly there were only two chemistry questions, fewer than expected.
It is interesting to compare differing interviewers. These guys were quick, fast, and rolled with the answers, extrapolating more questions ad hoc. Other interviews Cow has had seemed to follow "scripts" where the questions were set in advance, no deviation allowed.
Don't know which gives a better result for the company. Easier to compare when all the questions are the same, but probably get less of a feel for the candidate that way.
Moo!

Chemistry questions? You have to remember all that stuff about potassium permanganate and the periodic table? That's tough!
So, how do you feel about it? Good or bad? Was there ... chemistry between y'all (somebody had to say it)?
How are they all going??
Sounds like these guys were listening to your answers rather than ticking boxes.
Hope it went well!
Gorilla Cow is impressed with your knowledge. Had no idea Gorillas had to take chemistry there in the Congo.
Doghouse hahahahah!
Watercolor Long process going well. Always the better the job, the longer they take to hire, seemingly.
Sir Musgrove yes, it was much more interactive that others so far. Not sure if that's good or bad though!
Moo!
Despite my personal allegiances, I would be more impressed with an organization that did not use a script in interviewing you. Getting stuck in a box as an employee or a person isn't good.
A college buddy applied for a job at Wal-Mart, and was asked on the application what qualities he felt he could bring to improve the company as a whole. He just wondered why they didn't ask "do you have a strong back"?
I agree with douglas ... better to get a feel for the candidate and ask what's really on your mind rather than sticking to a pre-typed form. Better for the company, better for the job applicant.
Cow has much to chew over from these comments. Thank you (fighting her way out of a box by using her strong back)
Moo!
