I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at bp (Pangbourne, England) in Dec 2019
Interview
Applied online through the company page. Standard graduate recruitment process of a lengthy application before being followed by Situational judgement questionnaire, aptitude tests and a phone interview before the 1-1 technical interview. Technical interview itself was tough, the interviewer kept interrupting although he told me to voice my thought process which was quite distracting.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at bp (Oxford, England) in Mar 2020
Interview
I completed an online situational judgment questionnaire, followed by a verbal and numerical assessment, and then a technical interview. The interviewers were two individuals, one from the same field I was applying for and one from another field. Interestingly one of them did try to ask mean questions (which I did answer) but the other interviewer pulled them up on it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They started by asking for examples of what I did when faced with a challenge. One point of interest was that because I used my most recent work experience in my answer when it came to the technical questions they didn't want to hear about the same work experience, so I had to describe technical aspects of a project I did over 3 years before (quite a challenge to remember). Make sure you have different examples to refer to in your technical and experience-based questions.
Otherwise, the questions others have listed on glassdoor all featured. They have a tick list going through the questions so expect them all.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at bp (Pangbourne, England) in Nov 2018
Interview
I interviewed at Pangbourne after completing a competancy telephone interview, a variety of online tests and a situational judgement questionnaire. The technical interview was mostly based around understanding fundamental automotive engineering principals, as opposed to general questions about my career or my CV.
Although I was unsuccesful, I found the process very profesionnally handled - BP were very accomodating and were able to postpone my interview by two weeks, allowing me to continue with prior commitments.
