Negotiation

It wasn't negotiable.

Application

I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at BP (Houston, TX (US)) in September 2013.

Interview

HR email, followed by a phone call from the hiring manager, then on-site. The manager asked for a phone call afterward by never called, next week found out the application is no longer under consideration. They are really bad at being on time and responding emails.

Application

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at BP (Houston, TX (US)).

Interview

Recruiter contacted me to interview with them.

The hiring manager was definitely not interested in me since I did not have the experience or pedigree he was looking for. Not sure why they brought me in for an interview.

Granted I had food poisoning the morning of the interview so maybe it was me?

Essentially it was a waste of time.

Application

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BP (College Station, TX (US)) in May 2011.

Interview

It is long and informative, with both behavior and technical questions. It was a 75-minute interview as the first round, and the 2nd round was making a presentation about my research project. The first interview is 1-1 and the second interview is 1-2. I think the environment is friendly and relaxing, and the questions are pre-designed.

Interview

It was an on-campus recruitment. I met with the recruiters at the university's career fair. I also applied on the company's career website. I received notification for an on-campus interview in about a week. The interview itself was two part- the first part was behavioral, and the second part was technical. I received an offer within about 3 weeks of the campus interview.

Application

I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BP (Houston, TX (US)) in October 2010.

Interview

I got first round through the University career website for the position of Petrophysicist/Well Log Analyst. I think their first round selection is completely random, as many of my friends with same profile did not get the interview call, while a few others (highly unfit for the position) got the call.

Well-Logging, I am good at it, so I analyzed the well-log given to me in the first round really well. The interviewer a Geologist asked me a lot of other clichéd-interview questions and I gave her clichéd answers.

I got a second round call. On-site interview, where I presented my research work (which is entirely unrelated to Petrophysics - as i said my first round selection i think was random). Also I was asked to comment on a geological formation (I had only one geology field trip in my masters).

The interviewer (a geologist) said, he thinks I did very well in geological interpretation considering my background in Geology. Another interviewer I think was not so impressed.

Finally after making me wait for two months, they sent me a standard rejection letter. I was extremely surprised as I had thought I did well.

A suggestion to International students pursuing Geology-Petrophysics-Geophysics, DO APPLY FOR PETROPHYSICIST POSITION in the future in BP, as they are always running short of Petrophysicist.

As I got to know from other friends, pay is awesome, near around 100,000 dollars. If you like well-logging and seismic interpretation, this is the place to be in.

Interview Questions

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at BP (Chicago, IL (US)) in March 2018.

Interview

Behavioral based interview. Interview team did not stray from a strict script of questions. Sticking to that format did not allow for personal interaction. Interview felt very clinical and lacked warmth.

Good interview. Took all day, behavioral and theory based. Lots of rounds back and forth. Not much waiting around. Things moved quickly. Lots of questions were asked by both parties.
