Interviewed Apr 2011 in Houston, TX (took a day)
Two separate interviews, one with human resources and one with the specialized team. Human resources interview asked basic interview questions i.e. tell me about working with someone that you didn't get along with, why do you want to work here etc. The interview with the specialists/scientists tested your skills, questioned your research and asked some basic questions i.e. tell me about yourself.

Interviewed Apr 2012 in Houston, TX (took 1 week)
I was hired as a contractor with the possibility of becoming a BP employee. Initial interview was by phone from London with the person who would be my supervisor. She was impressed with my resume and most of the conversation seemed more designed to determine the fit with my personality and style than my skills. Second interview, 1:1, was similar in scope. I received very few challenging questions.

Very simple and straight forward process. Great people in HR and very accomodating managers.

Couldn't leave my current employer as they were really good to me and gave me a huge promotion and a move to our corporate office to take a VP level role.

Interviewed Mar 2012 (took a day)
Application process involved online application where you need to write quite a bit, an online aptitude test, a trading game and finally panel interview. During the interview (3:1), I was asked mostly behavioral questions and some technical questions about global oil price.
I didn't get an offer since they were "looking for someone who has regulatory climate knowledge for this specific position we are recruiting for." Not sure whether this was a legit reason or perhaps they had a better candidate in mind.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Anchorage, AK (took 2 months)
Applied on the website. Got a call from HR for a phone screening 3 hours after applying online; took 30 minutes. Basically went over my resume and asked what I was interested in. Got an email a week later saying i was accepted for the first interview, which was all behavioral questions. The first interview was with two people (one hiring manager who is a senior engineer and a BP Challenger program coordinator). The first interview lasted an hour and was a phone interview. Got a call the next day saying I was accepted for a second interview which would be all technical related questions and would be flown to Anchorage, AK for it. Two weeks later I flew there. The technical interview was for 45 minutes and then 45 minutes of questions I had for them (basically a discussion). The technical interview was with two people both engineers. They try to make as you as relaxed as possible and are basically looking for your thought process. Overall found the people very friendly, and the work environment was very relaxed.
