I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ExxonMobil (Singapore) in Sep 2015
Interview
Mine was a phone interview, and there were 2 interviewers. The entire interview lasted for about 40 minutes, and i felt the interviewers were trying to get a gauge of your personality, as they asked a lot of seemingly random questions and digressed quite a fair bit from the standard interview questions. they made me feel comfortable before asking the hard technical questions and i felt that i could answer better that way. overall it was a good experience.
