It was a long, difficult, and in-depth interview process. I spent about 6 hours at their office on the same day, interviewing with three managers. All the questions were about the company's S.P.I.R.I.T values. I had to explain how I handled different situations, performed in previous jobs, or completed tasks using Safety, People, Integrity, Responsibility, Innovation, and Teamwork. This was the hardest interview I had compared to others in the oil and gas industry over a six-month period.

Technical Behavioral
I was contacted through a staffing agency who thought I was a good fit. They had me take an Excel test, which I passed with a 90% even though I haven't used it much in the last 9 years. My BS in Accounting (3.7 GPA) and the Excel score got me an interview, though it was scheduled last minute for the next morning. The interviewers were late, and seemed surprised by my race. The interview was short and casual, focusing on behavioral questions, but they seemed disengaged. Later, the agency told me I wasn't hired because of my Excel score, which they had before the interview. I suspect it was a coded reason, and the initial reaction to my appearance confirmed it.
