I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at bp (Anchorage, AK) in May 2014
Interview
I applied online to an internship program in the Anchorage, Alaska office. I was contacted by email informing that I had an interview two weeks prior to the interview date. The interview was an hour long, half behavioral half technical. Interviewers were not particularly friendly; one sat taking notes and did not speak and the other simply asked questions and listened to the answers in silence. The behavioral half went well, but I had a lot of difficulty answering the technical question. The question itself was not super difficult, I think it was mostly my lack of preparation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic Mechanics of Materials stress evaluation question. He asked me to calculate at what force a beam would break given where the force was being applied.
First it was a 5 question hireview then there was a 2 hour case going over mental math, market knowledge and hypothetical scenarios. Overall it was really easy and simple.
first round is a hireview and the second round is a technical interview. the hireview has 5 standard behavioral questions, while the technical a way for them to see how you think.
fine, just take your time. the virtual interview was pretty straightforward and had a timer for every question along with some extra time to prepare. It was mainly behavioural questions and asking theoretical situations and experiences from past jobs.
