Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 1 week)
The process started with an online application, psychometric tests and then 3 competency questions. After a week I was offered a phone interview (competency based) which was with an external company. The lady on the phone was really nice and put me at ease. After 3 days I received an invitation for a face-to-face interview with a member of HR which went well and was again competency based. I was invited to an assessment centre which consisted of group interviews and a technical interview.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Baton Rouge, LA (took a day)
It seemed to me that they were looking for a candidate who could handle change. I had at least four questions about handleing change, all of them just worded differently. They had also the traditional behavioral questions. Anyways I didn't get past the first interview but I wasnt so stoked about being paid a lot of money to be in a career that didn't interest me much.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
Went over resume briefly. Mostly talked about what I would do in group situations, when I've led or done group projects, or what I would do to solve a problem. Very qualitative and low-key. Interviewer was very nice and let me ask questions at the end.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took 3 weeks)
I was contacted by the recruitment agency and had an initial phone interview. After one week they called me and told me to come for an interview in ExxonMobil. It took around 1.5 hour. I was interviewed by HR representant and Manager of Engineering team. HR asked typical questions: describe a situation when you had a problem with your collegue, and how you handled it, describe a situation when you had to make a difficult decision, describe a situation when you had to cooperate with the others to accomplish a task... Manager asked questions related to the position and checking my knowledge. They also asked me in the end why I chose ExxonMobil.

Negotiation Details
You can negotiate within reasonable limits. They asked me what were my financial expectations.
I told them "around XXX but I am flexible because I like the position". And in the end I got even more :)
If they ask you about your financial expectations try to be precise and give a reason (e.g. I live out of the city and would have to commute everyday, etc)
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
It is campus interview. The interviewer was nice and polite. She let me talk about my own research work, and then asked me several behavioral questions. She also introduced this position to me to find the best fit. However, I didn't get the onsite, and the rejection letter says there is no fit.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Actually the job description was Ph. D engineering position in our university career center website. The interview lasted 45 minutes and the interviewer was very nice. I was asked the details of my research work listed on my resume. And of course, the behavior question, such as what was the biggest challenge in your life and give an example, describe an example of problem solving ability, and example of working on a project in a team. In the end, I asked the interviewer some questions about the structure in his department. In general that was a pleasant meeting.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Houston, TX (took 4 days)
EM had an info session, first interview was at my uni, one-on-one consisting of mostly behavioural questions. 2nd interview was with HR Recruiter, mostly discussion of resume. The third and fourth interviews were with specific people in the department. The third interview was very informal, general. The fourth interview was the toughest with harder behavioural questions. Once done, the recruiter called to inform me of my offer.
