Technical Behavioral

The interview process was pretty interesting and involved a lot of technical questions. On top of that, they give you a better idea of what your day-to-day job would entail, so candidates can get a general understanding of their daily tasks. It's a really good starting job, and the scope of work is quite interesting, though they really should open up more opportunities for younger candidates.

Behavioral

It was a pretty chill interview, actually. You get to talk to an alum, so it felt really relatable. It's easy to set up if you meet them at a career fair (definitely talk to them there, worth the wait). Overall, I'd recommend interviewing with Exxon. They're looking for more than just a summer intern; they want you to do a co-op first, then the internship, so it's about a 6-month commitment.
