Behavioral Technical
I put in my application online and they gave me some dates to pick from for an interview a few weeks out. It was a pretty standard interview using the STAR method. Mostly, they asked behavioral questions about my past work, and then threw in 2 or 3 technical questions that were about stuff I'd done before.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
I applied online through the company site, submitting my cover letter and resume. Then, I was called by the Cenovus recruitment team and invited to an info session and interview, which was held on campus. During the interview, they asked me behavioral questions, safety questions, and some questions about the company itself. They also asked a thermodynamics question. I got the offer about 6 days later.

The one-way interview was more stressful than it needed to be due to timed questions and responses. It's tough to get a feel for team dynamics when they don't actually meet with you.
