Interview

3 hr panel interview (Three 45 minute group interviews). Was really cool to speak to so many people and to get a feel for all the different teams. Best to be prepared with industry knowledge and to drive home how you provided quantifiable value.

Interview

It was an in person interview in which a male interview proceeded to ask me if I cared about an employer supporting women. Then went on to say that Valero has no women support groups. In addition, the interviewer made comments about my race and demeaned the projects I had worked on in the past.

Interview

Round of quick interviews at UTSA. 3 - 5 minutes. It felt more like a conversation than an interview. We discussed my resume and expectations and she explained her role in the company and the requirements of the position.

Application

I applied through college or university. The process took a week. I interviewed at Valero Energy (Stillwater, OK) in September 2019.

Interview

The interview was mostly behavioral questions that were pretty broad. Was asked to walk the interviewer through my resume. About 30 minutes long with time to ask questions at the end. One on one interview, employer was very friendly.

Application

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Valero Energy (Amarillo, TX) in August 2019.

Interview

I had hoped to meet with actual HR representatives from San Antonio for future consideration for other positions but I was only able to meet with local supervisors. I can understand their handling it that way as the position was entry level at a call center. Still, I was disappointed by that and the seemingly same question, worded a little differently each time, being asked repeatedly.

Application

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Valero Energy.

Interview

I talked to them while I was at the career fair even though I didn't have the initial intention to work for them. I hit it off with this one recruiter and she scheduled an interview. The interview was mostly behavioural questions with some probing into the more technical aspects. Not too extrenous, but preparation is required. I caught up with the recuriter later on at a social event Valero was putting on at the campus. I believe that extra initiative to show up to the social even after the interview eventually led to me being offered the internship.

Interview

Very enjoyable, the questions were light and seemed to be more about how I meshed with the people and worked. Had the chance to meet with the interviewers the night before and got some of the initial info out of the way.
