Interview Details
Did not have hard interviews, until it was the last interview. Already had experience in the position they were looking for. They want leaders and people who will help the company grow in the direction of leadership (i.e. against all competitors).
Had a friendly recruiter and they took us out to dinner before the main on-campus interview.
No presentations either.

Interview Details It was an on-campus interview. It was a 1:1 interview with a campus recruiter who's an engineer in a manufacturing plant. He first asked me about my work experience on my resume and proceeded with a prepared behavior-type interview with four questions. Nothing technical related. Be aware of the differences between upstream and downstream, and know which you prefer. Overall, I thought it went well, but there are several other candidates applying for the same position.

Interview Details I was directed through the University Campus services. They asked about behavioral questions. They were kind of difficult but not really. BE PREPARED for the questions. They seem very generic. They can be mean and stern but some are very nice. Exxon is a great place to be an intern at.
Interview Question – What is your favorite class and why? Answer Question

Interview Details Campus recruiting (submitted resume and cover letter on Exxon's campus recruiting site in advance; invited to interview with alumnus on campus). About two months later, I received an email that I had not made it to the next stage (phone interview). Typical behavioral interview. I think that the interview thought I would be a good fit for a certain division; when I expressed interest in the others, I sealed my fate.
Interview Question – The most difficult part for me was repeated questions that touched on the same areas (problem-solving), etc., since I needed more anecdotes. Answer Question
