Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 3 days)
The process was very manageable but lasted longer than usual. This interview was 1.5 hours, which is a lot of time to talk to one person. The interviewer was very fair but the dialogues has no freedom to them. Everything was done by a packet of instruction he held. This made it very difficult to connect with the interviewer.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Anchorage, AK (took a day)
I was referred by an employee and sent in my resume for review. Then I met with several company representatives for lunch to discuss the position. This was not what I would call a formal interview. The position was offered to me at that time and the details of a contract position were worked out over the following weeks.

Compare third party contract companies for benefits plans and 401K options. You DO have power to negotiate, especially if you have been preselected for a job.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
Applied online and received offer for interview about 6 weeks later. Arrived at the hotel they were using and had lunch, meeting the ten or so other geology candidates. We had a brief presentation about BP then proceeded to have one personal interview of 45 minutes and one technical interview of 90 minutes each. The personal interview was very standardised and competency based, they were particularly interested in team work. The technical interview started with a "story" where they gave you little bits of information about an area and you had to say what you would do to find out more, where you thought the oil would be etc. The story was then followed by interpretation of a seismic line. I hadn't done much before and even though I told them this they weren't very helpful. The technical interview would be hard to prepare for, they want to see the way you approach a problem rather than any preexisitng knowledge.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 3 weeks)
A panel of 5 interviewers spent 50 minutes asking me behaviorial-type questions and a hurried few minutes asking skill-specific questions. Feedback was my behaviorial answers were not geared towards my pertinent experience. If that is what you wanted to know, why waste time with the mundane? No word yet on the job...

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Seattle, WA (took a day)
I applied online and spoke with BP representatives at my university's career fair. I was notified by my school that I was selected to schedule an interview. I interviewed about a week later. The interview was long, but I felt it allowed the interviewer and myself to be more relaxed and get to know each other. The questions ranged from school to behavioral. There was also a brief situational assessment where I had to evaluate a purchasing situation and make a recommendation. The interviewer was warm and friendly. I had a good experience interviewing with BP.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Calgary, AB (Canada) (took 4+ weeks)
I applied to the position at the beginning of the year through the university website and got a call for the first round of interviews about a month later. The first interview was pretty standard and the interviewer asked the normal interview questions "Tell me of a time when you worked in a team", etc. After that I was invited to a second technical interview where we visited the headquarters. Here we were given a few presentations about the company and later interviewed by two current engineers. Here we got asked technical questions regarding the oil and gas industry which were pretty specific.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Houston, TX (took a day)
Interview was 2 stages. First they had an HR rep ask about why I wanted to work there, a difficult experience, when you did something poorly and how you learned from it/improved yourself, etc. Then there was a technical part where they asked some basic heat transfer/statics questions to see how you responded.
