I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Trafigura (Athens, Athens, Attica) in Jan 2023
Interview
3 rounds of interview, asked a lot of technical questions to me who came from a different background. Very harsh interviewers and keep staring with at me with smirk on their faces
The first-round interview went well overall. It was a 30-minute call with HR and focused mainly on technical and industry-related questions rather than my CV. I was asked about how Trafigura makes money, the risks of transporting crude oil, and some logic-based questions. The interviewer was professional but kept the camera off, which made the conversation a bit less personal. I managed to answer most questions confidently and kept my answers structured and concise. Overall, it was a good experience and a valuable insight into Trafigura’s expectations.
