Behavioral
I had this packet with about 7 questions that the interviewer went through with me. They were pretty standard questions about leadership, conflict, building rapport, and my weaknesses and strengths. The interviewer was really nice. The next step would be an on-site interview, but that's scheduled for a couple of months from now.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process usually starts with a behavioral chat, followed by a brief technical part. The interviews will be led by group leads or managers. There are two rounds in total, and both will be in-person. The first round is mostly about your past experiences, getting to know you, and your education. The second round will dig deeper into your experience in the oil and gas industry and how you can contribute to our company.

Technical Behavioral
The interview process included a first-round phone call, followed by a video call. During the video call, they gave an overview of their current project and team, and then asked about my past projects. There were some technical and behavioral questions. After that, I had the opportunity to ask questions before they extended an offer, which I accepted.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process started with a panel interview involving HR and the Hiring Manager. They asked very structured, canned questions, which made having a genuine conversation really difficult and one-sided. Things got even more awkward towards the end when the hiring manager presented a financial statement and asked me to find the errors and write down my responses while they watched. It felt like being put on the spot with an exam, especially with them hovering over me as I tried to analyze five pages of financial statements. This approach suggests the hiring manager doesn't have much trust in their hires. I found it disappointing that my years of experience and education seemed to be disregarded. To make matters worse, the company completely ghosted me, and I never heard back after five months. Given CITGO's legal troubles, PDVSA's vendor payment issues, and other companies pursuing CITGO due to its ties with PDVSA, it's probably a good thing I didn't end up working there. I feel like I dodged a bullet.
