Overall Negative Experience

Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Lubbock, TX (took 1 week)

Too many Anecdotal requests, "what would you do" "think of time when"

In hindsight, I'm glad I didn't receive an offer, because I couldn't stand to work with these people, the culture, and day to day grind in a cubicle in Houston.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took 2 months)

Applied through the university website, got a call and interviewed with them. They were really friendly and made me feel comfortable. I originally applied for an upstream position but I was interviewed for a downstream position as they did not need an electrical engineering intern in upstream. The interview consisted of general behavioral questions.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 2 weeks)

Initially I was interviewed by two employees, which asked me behaviorial questions. We went over my past experiences in school, my involvement in different projects at school, and my transcript. After the interview, we went over possible job offerings (departments which were currently hiring), as well as location preferences. Being an intern, location preference was more for completeness of the interview rather than being taken into consideration. This should be different or locations which are not hiring but are interviewing for other national positions.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Houston, TX (took a day)

It was a pretty short interview. I took my resume to a job seminar and got in touch with the conocophillips people, then I set up an interview time and went to a one on one interview.
