I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ConocoPhillips (Calgary, AB) in Mar 2008
Interview
Very intimidating, Behavioral interview questions will be more pointed, more probing and more specific than traditional interview questions:
Give an example of an occasion when you used logic to solve a problem.
Give an example of a goal you reached and tell me how you achieved it.
Describe a decision you made that was unpopular and how you handled implementing it.
Have you gone above and beyond the call of duty? If so, how?
What do you do when your schedule is interrupted? Give an example of how you handle it.
Have you had to convince a team to work on a project they weren't thrilled about? How did you do it?
Have you handled a difficult situation with a co-worker? How?
Tell me about how you worked effectively under pressure.
Follow-up questions will also be detailed. You may be asked what you did, what you said, how you reacted or how you felt.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ConocoPhillips (Midland, TX) in Feb 2023
Interview
Part technical, part soft skills. Asked a lot of past experience questions, nothing out of the ordinary compared to a regular interview. No location preference so most likely will stay in the same location indefinitely.

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at ConocoPhillips (Houston, TX)
Interview
It was a decent interview, typical shuffle between different managers and future work colleagues. I was able to ask questions very candidly and be open.
The questions that managers had were rather insightful, I was surprised at the personal nature of questions that were sometimes asked (showed what I thought was a caring spirit)

Question 1
There were no technical questions. They know your experience and were more interested in who you were rather than what you knew.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ConocoPhillips (Calgary, AB) in July 2012
Interview
2 interviews with different panel member from middle and senior management. Excellent work culture, professionalism and ambiance from the interviewers. Ask standard resume questions, 3 words to describe yourself, technical work, behaviour based questions. Very quick hiring process, less than 30 days all in. Used a recruiter from Spencer Ogden who worked everything pretty well.
