Interviewed Jan 2011 in Oklahoma City, OK (took 4+ weeks)
Very smooth process. Recruiter did the initial engagement and resume submission. Internal recruiting staff called and set up phone screening. 40-45 general Q&A about experience and qualifications. One on one interviews were schedule for about a week later. Met separately with 4 different managers in the organization that the position would interface with. I was interviewing for a demanding position and the interview questioning was very challenging. The interviewers were focusing how close the fit was between the SAP modules I was experienced with and those they were implementing. The team at Devon put a high value on having oil and gas experience. I did not have that experienced and could have been better prepared to address that concern of theirs.

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took a day)
Got the interview through the college career assistance website. Lasted 30 minutes. Basic questions.. Why this college? Why your major? Why do you want to work for Devon?
Toughest question was to talk about a time where i seized an opportunity and ran with it. Urine Drug Test a couple weeks before the summer internship.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Oklahoma City, OK (took 6+ weeks)
The initial phone interviews (have you been convicted of a crime, etc.) are more screening and not an interview.I would suggest it be worded as an applicant screening process and not an interview.
The first actual interview (conducted by phone) was more of the manager describing the job duties, where they saw the position going in the department, and what precipitated the need for the position. Again, very few questions to unearth information as to whether I would be a good hire.
The face-to-face interview was part team and one on one. The team did not seem prepared to conduct an interview, had very few prepared questions, and essentially asked me to "tell us about yourself". The 1 to 1 interview was more detailed and specific, yet did not drill down to what I considered critical elements in order to make a decision. Often, I felt as if I was trying to provide information to questions that were not going to be asked and that would impact the job as described.
Everyone I interviewed with made reference to "this is what YOU will do", "We want to make sure YOU like the area", "we want YOU to come back and present", "what areas are YOU considering to live in", etc. While these are statements are very misleading, they are not a job offer. I would suggest re-thinking the wording to be more general - "the Candidate", "the Person we select", etc.

The first round I met with two people who interviewed me together. A month later I received a call to come to the downtown location where I interviewed with three other people, but this time it was individually. They called me 5 days later and offered me the internship.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Oklahoma City, OK (took 2 days)
Panel came to my school, 3 people questioned me about the standard stuff, prior experience, etc. Then I went downtown and was taken to the offices of 3 different people who all asked me a set of prewritten questions. I then went to lunch with a large amount of supervisors and executives, and that was it.
