Imperial Oil Interview Questions
& Process

This is a star based interview. Typical questions with questions relating to safety and how you would operate in a setting. Or provide examples. Only one round of interviews. Cheers

So, after you submit your application and resume, they might do a quick call or video chat with a recruiter to see if you're qualified and interested. If that goes well, you'll likely have a first interview, maybe over the phone or video, with someone from HR, mostly about your background and if you fit the company. Then, for the technical stuff, there will be interviews to check your skills, where you might have to solve problems or do some practical exercises. They also do behavioral interviews, asking about how you've handled challenges or worked in teams before. And sometimes there's a panel interview.

I interviewed with two people from Imperial's Procurement and Services Department. It was about an hour long, mostly standard behavioral questions. One interviewer was silent except for introducing herself. The other was unfriendly and didn't really engage or follow up on the questions. They said I'd hear back the following week, but it took them over 6 weeks. I had to reach out myself to find out they hired someone else. It was a disappointing experience, especially from a company like Imperial. If you have other options, I'd consider them.

The whole process was really well put together and structured. The recruiters at ExxonMobil/Imperial Oil were super professional and got back to me fast, answering all my questions about the interview. It was a really nice experience overall. The questions weren't too hard; they were mostly trying to figure out who I am and how I work. They asked a mix of questions about my past experiences and some that made me think outside the box, but nothing too complicated. I'd totally recommend this process, giving it an 8.5-9 out of 10.
