I applied online. I interviewed at Occidental Petroleum (Muscat) in Feb 2025
Interview
The interview experience was smooth . It was online, and there were engineers and an HR person. I think there were 5-6 people in total, and they were smooth and the interview went quickly and easily.
Panel interview with directors from different departments across the company. Most directors were very warm and easy to hold a conversation with and wanted to get to know you as a person. Some directors were very harsh and quizzed you on the company and industry.
