I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at ExxonMobil (Spring, TX) in Oct 2016
Interview
Junior (peer) interviewer greeted me in the lobby. Hiring manager arrived fifteen minutes late. But both interviewers were aloof and distracted, and they spoke to each other (kidding around, essentially) in front of me, making me feel uncomfortable.
When the first interviewer asked where I'd parked, (in the garage indicated in the pre-interview email they'd sent) she continued, "Oh that's right, I got a notification when you entered the campus and I could see how long it took you to reach the garage." Why she shared this with me I don't know.
A good portion of the interview questions were closed-ended (so you would really want to drive all the way up here [12 miles] to work?) or worded so specifically that they were hard to relate to my experience.

I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ExxonMobil (North Houston, TX) in Oct 2025
Interview
In person interview, standard behavioral interview with relatively easy questions, why Exxon, why this position, your experience, tell me about about yourself, not that bad. It was a very positive interview and the interviewers were kind in the sense that they wanted as much as detail as possible without grilling.
Fairly relevant questions based on your experience and subject matter. Process was completely automated, directly received an email for all rounds cleared. HR did not accommodate any date changes for interview timing.
