Mechanical Engineer - Full Time at Exxon Mobil

No Offer – Interviewed in Austin, TX (US) Oct 2012 – Reviewed Oct 23, 2012

Interview Details The interview was very laid back. The interviewer started out by talking about herself and the projects she had been a part of throughout her career at Exxon. She went over my resume and asked me some questions about my experiences, but nothing out of the ordinary. She finished the interview by asking me whether I wanted to work in the upstream or downstream industries and if I had any preferences as far as location.

Interview Question – There weren't any unexpected questions.   Answer Question

PhD Chemical Engineer at Exxon Mobil

No Offer – Interviewed in Atlanta, GA (US) Oct 2011 – Reviewed Oct 14, 2012

Interview Details I received an on-campus interview from Exxon through my school's career fair / career website. The interview was about 45 minutes and mostly HR type questions. When did you work with a difficult person, etc. The interviewer was nice and requested my answers be in the STAR response format. They said they'd let me know if i was declined in two weeks, but if i was to make it to the next round it may take months. From knowing people who made it to the next round, they often tell you within a few weeks too.
