I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at bp (Houston, TX) in Nov 2012
Interview
First round interview on campus consisted of one 1.5 hr interview, the first half was behavioral, 2nd half was technical. Got a call almost 2 months later about a second round interview on site in Houston. Interview day consisted of two 45 minute technical interviews that were harder than the first round question. One of the questions was a petroleum engineering question that was pretty hard for me being mechanical, I think they were seeing if I could figure it out. The rest of the day was a few presentations about benefits etc, lunch, and a tour.
