I went through all the stages and on the day I was supposed to get feedback with the proposal or rejection, I was left hanging. On the day of the occupational exam, there was confusion because they scheduled more people than the clinic could handle, we took a long time to be attended, remembering we were fasting. Online stages with video recording answering questions in English, English and reasoning tests. You get a call from them informing you about the salary and benefits, in this call they inform you that the trainee period lasts 4 months and you have to move at your own expense to Macaé to work in person. After that, you are invited to a group dynamic either in Rio de Janeiro or in Macaé, they cover the flights and accommodation. On the day of the dynamic, you will present yourself in English for 1 to 2 minutes, then they will separate the groups and the first dynamic is to solve a "mystery" as if you were a detective. The second dynamic is to develop a park and sell this idea to investors who are the managers. Between the first and second dynamic there is a coffee break where you can talk to the managers, it is important for you to stand out and get to know the areas that interest you. Expect a very cold air-conditioned room on the day of the dynamic and only coffee at 11 am.

Behavioral Technical
I interviewed with a senior person at Halliburton, the chief of cementing operations, for a Sr. Engineer role in their Cementing Business. It was a 50 min interview and I wasn't asked any technical questions. The interviewer explained that if your GPA is above 3.00, they skip technical questions and focus on behavioral and personality questions. The questions were standard, focusing on leadership and integrity. I felt I did well and the interviewer seemed impressed, mentioning a possible offer. However, I received a rejection letter two months later, so you can't always go by what they say.
