Question 1

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ExxonMobil (Champaign, IL) in Sep 2018
Interview
I was selected to receive the early stage interview on campus, as I'm in my last year of study. The interviewer was very friendly and highly interested in my research. It was a casual 1-hour interview with me talking about my research project and the interviewer talking about the company and answering my questions. I need to wait for the company's decision on if I will receive onsite interview.
