I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ExxonMobil (Southampton, England) in Nov 2016
Interview
Applied online via the website. After passing the psychometric tests, was invited for a Skype interview which lasted 20-25 minutes. Interviewer was friendly and nice to talk to. She asked questions and gave me time to think before answering, while taking down notes. Seemed genuinely interested. Asked follow up questions to some of the things I spoke about in my answers.
Face to face interview was with two engineers in the Fawley refinery. Spoke again about some competency questions to see if your values and way that you do things align with theirs.
