I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ConocoPhillips
Interview
I applied through the university and was notified after 2 weeks of an interview. Philips 66 hosted an info session for everyone and brought us out to dinner on the night before the interview. During the interview, I was given basic behavior questions along with a case interview. Recruiters are all really helpful and they try to make you as comfortable as possible.

Interview process was very professional. Three different people sat down with me at separate times and talked to me about the position. They were friendly and acted like they were happy to have me there, unlike other companies who act like interviews are a burden.
