I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Occidental Petroleum in Nov 2018
Interview
A university recruiter from Oxychem contacted me and helped set up a phone screen with the site location's HR department. The phone screen lasted 15 minutes and the HR manager did not give me any opportunities to ask questions or ask for their contact addresses. I managed to contact the HR manager two weeks after and was told that they would get back to me soon. I still have not heard back from that HR department to this day.
Lunch interview at local restaurant. Very casual, the interview was not scripted, asked a lot about past experience, likes, dislikes in the workplace. Overall very laid back and friendly process.
