Applied online on my uni’s website and met the recruiter at the career fair. Was invited to the pre-interview dinner and had an interview the next day. There were two interviewers present and they asked pretty standard interview questions - pre-made that were behavioral. Afterwards, if you make it through you’ll be invited to an office visit.

I interviewed at Anadarko Petroleum
I applied on school handshake and got an interview set up. There were 3 interviewers, one of them would write things down and the others would ask. There were quite many behavioral questions. The people were friendly. It was a 30 minute interview. I actually don’t know the outcome yet when I’m submitting it but there are no option for that on Glassdoor so I just click yes and I accepted:))
