      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Suncor Energy in Oct 2013

      Interview

      First Round - Interviews at Universities with two employees of the company, at least one will be an engineer. Behavioral type questions ("Describe a time when you had to ___ to achieve ___"). Second (Final) Round - First day is networking with local executives at golf and country club. Every move of each candidate is observed and discussed later. DRESS VERY WELL. Executives are very friendly. Second day is four timeslots. 3 of 4 are company info sessions (salaries, benefits, culture, etc.) and the fourth is a 50 minute interview. Interview process is similar to first round except that there is an open-ended technical question at the end. Candidates are given graphs, engineering drawings, and need to discuss the problem, possible causes, and solutions.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Technical scenario - candidate is given four graphs and a schematic of a process (expansion tank, valves, pump, heat exchanger). Graphs are things such as Temperature versus time, pressure versus time, etc. There is a problem with the process and candidates are asked to brainstorm sources of the problem. Talk as much as possible, the more thoughts the better. There is no correct answer!
