Interviewed Dec 2009 in Fairfax, VA (took a day)
First, I had an on-campus interview. We reviewed my resume and my interviewer described the company and the position. He was a nice guy and a top level manager. Some companies send new hires or HR folks for a behavioral interview, but this guy was an engineer who'd been with the company 20+ years and had great answers to my questions - very knowledgeable.
I was invited for a second interview at their Fairfax, VA location and was pampered throughout the interview process. The whole process was quickly and smoothly arranged for me - couldn't have been easier. The recruiting department was nice, helpful, and responded promptly to all my questions.
I was assigned a host for the two days I was in VA. She was a wealth of information and made the process even smoother. She picked me up from the hotel when I needed to leave, brought me from interview to interview, and showed me around the facilities. She took me out to dinner the night before the interview and to breakfast that morning. She and the other newer hires I met really enjoyed their jobs. It sounded like a high-stress job and long hours but with good compensation and a friendly culture. Not for someone who doesn't want to work very hard.
The interview day was tiring. I met with 6 managers over the course of the day. Each manager had 20+ years of experience at Exxonmobil and each had fascinating career stories. There is a great variety of work at Exxonmobil and most of them had worked 8-12 different positions over their tenure. I can't imagine getting bored.
Advice: Have a lot of questions ready and do background research. It will help you get the most out of your host and interviewers and will leave a good impression.

Interviewed Oct 2008 in Fairfax, VA (took 2 days)
Flew out to Fairfax and they put me in a nice hotel right next to the headquarters. The host met me and took me out to dinner to a very nice restaurant. The next day, I ate breakfast with the host and traveled to headquarters. I had 3 one-on-one interviews with varies upper-level managers. Mostly it went background, the job itself, and career. Past, present, and future. Prepare for the standard behavioral questions in at least one of them, probably two. Know your resume!

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Fairfax, VA (took 2+ weeks)
Applied online, had first interview on campus, one on one. Normal behavior questions: "tell me about a time when..." Interviewer was looking for a "Go-getter" who would be a good leader.
Two weeks after first interview, flew to Fairfax, interviewed on site. Dinner the night before with other recruits and senior execs, mingling, chit chat environment. Next day consisted of a presentation to the recruits about ExxonMobil, then three one on one interviews with three senior execs. Focus was on demonstrated analysis experience and leadership roles.
Got offer within 24 hours of second interview. Had three weeks to accept.

ExxonMobil does not negotiate salary, they feel that the offer they give is fair and may be offended if you try to negotiate. Possible other areas of negotiation are vacation days/relocation, but I didn't try to negotiate this.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took a day)
I was interviewed for the co-op position, it was quite fair and no technical questions at all, all are behavior type questions that require you to provide very specific example(description, how to overcome the difficulties, the outcome ) So be prepared with specific examples that can demonstrate your soft skills and also some projects experiences if you're applying for a tech position.

Interviewed Sep 2007 in Houston, TX (took 3 days)
The interview process consisted of two parts. One on one brief interview just to get acquainted to each other with further presentation in front of several decision-making persons.
The first part was pretty stress free, more like informal one I'd say. However, the second part was a tough one. Because I have had to give a detailed overview of my undergraduate degree research project and answer some tricky question. But I passed the test successfully.
