Interview
Campus recruiting (submitted resume and cover letter on Exxon's campus recruiting site in advance; invited to interview with alumnus on campus). About two months later, I received an email that I had not made it to the next stage (phone interview). Typical behavioral interview. I think that the interview thought I would be a good fit for a certain division; when I expressed interest in the others, I sealed my fate.

Question 1
The most difficult part for me was repeated questions that touched on the same areas (problem-solving), etc., since I needed more anecdotes.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ExxonMobil (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2011
Interview
Gave them resume at university information session; they sent an email back asking for an on-campus interview within the week. Had to make a profile online and submit resume again, as well as transcript. Interview was 1 on 1 and almost entirely behavioral, the rest being specifics about the research experience on resume. Was told at the end of interview that notification would be through email; received generic rejection in about 10 days.

I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at ExxonMobil in Sep 2011
Interview
Initially, the offer sounded great. I attended an information session with several employees who talked about their jobs. When I got to the interview, it seemed like my interviewer had completely burned out. She had no motivation, answered my questions about the company with very generic and formulaic answers, and I really learned nothing.
