I interviewed at Suncor
The interview process went smooth. It was a teams video interview and was very well structured, detailed and casual and took an hour. A lot of information about the company and work was given.

Easy. Basic HR questions like tell me about yourself. Focus on operations experience. Provide examples of how you engineered (design, optimize, simulate, etc) and how it provided value. Describe a time you resolved a conflict with a difficult person.

- interview takes too long - they are looking into streamlining the process - many rounds, first just with recruiting, second with leader - background checks take at least 3 weeks - onboarding process was fast
- - Tell us about your previous experience

The interview process consisted of a Video interview recording and Competency assessment. Followed by an in person screening. The overall process was a positive experience, however the video recording aspect can be odd initially (if used to in-person or video call meetings)
- Tell me about yourself please

Basic application followed by an online pre recorded interview. Was invited to do a proper online interview a few days later. Interview was straight forward with behavioural and a few technical questions.
- How important is safety to you?

I applied online. I interviewed at Suncor (Calgary, AB) in May 2023
As others have described , the first step is an online “interview” which is actually where you are self-recording timed responses to a handful of questions - some are generic, some are specific to the role. I found this step of the process very awkward and impersonal, but I recognize that it helps the company screen candidates faster. After this step, I was then selected for an actual online interview with two members of the team along with an HR recruiter. The fact that it was going to be a 3:1 interview was not communicated beforehand - I personally had no problem with it, but I think candidates deserve to know a detail like this in advance to better prepare themselves. The conversation was very natural and the questions were about my past experiences and my familiarity/interest in treasury, along with the current initiatives the team is focused on. Unfortunately, shortly after my interview the company announced widespread layoffs and the recruiter let me know that the position had been put on hold (i.e., hiring freeze). Overall I think the interview process at Suncor is reasonably well organized, though it definitely has hallmarks of a large, process-heavy legacy company.
