I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ExxonMobil (New York, NY) in Sept 2016
Interview
The interview was on-campus. It was a behavioral interview; formulaic. The HR reps also held an informational session and a smaller group session for people who wanted to ask any questions about the company and/or position. Side note: Exxon has a reputation as being pompous and you have to buy into that and stroke their employees' collective egos. Also, I cautiously asked about their LGBT policies (of which they have a very unimpressive history) and their environmental stewardship (of which they have none)-- and I strongly believe those questions were one reason I didn't get an offer. They want candidates who drink their kool-aid.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you find convinced others to do something they didn't want to do. How did you do it? (Or questions very similar. The questions overlapped a lot.)
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ExxonMobil (Buenos Aires) in Dec 2025
Interview
Son 4 entrevistas en total (soy personal eventual/contractor). Las primeras tres por parte de la agencia, para preguntar y comentar lo básico; la segunda para conocer el nivel de inglés; la tercera es una entrevista grupal, y supongo que ahí definen a quién eligen. La cuarta entrevista es con la empresa directamente, en la cual te comentan la descripción del puesto y también chequean tu nivel de inglés.
Horrible they lied to me and several other candidates about the process and their plans. They still offered me the position which I turned down because I didn’t feel it was worth it.
The interview was a panel interview where they mostly asked questions about a project that I shared. I did not get the chance to ask any questions. The interview lasted about an hour in person.
