Petrolink Services Interview Questions
& Process

This was the worst interview I've ever had. The panel asked really basic questions and laughed at me. It was a terrible experience and a waste of my time. I saw bad reviews before, but now I've experienced it myself. The environment felt toxic.

So I started with a quick phone call, just some easy questions. They called me back the next day saying I'd be a great fit. Then I had a second interview in person. When I arrived, the person who interviewed me on the phone gave me a weird look. Two other guys ended up interviewing me. It was the weirdest interview ever, especially since I'm a new grad. They just stared blankly from the start. They even questioned if the source code and prototype I showed were actually mine, which made me angry, but I just said yes. A big red flag was when they asked me to write assembly for a web dev job. Both interviewers were super rude by the end. Honestly, I feel lucky I didn't get an offer.

They had a 3 stage interview process: a recruiter call, a telephonic technical round, and an in-person technical round at their office followed by an HR discussion. I had a very poor experience because the interviewers lacked technical skills and knowledge. The HR person was sweet-spoken but never gave me any feedback. I feel like they conduct fake interviews, so be warned. If they do push you through, ask for travel reimbursement because you might lose your valuable time and effort.

First, I had a quick call with HR where they asked basic stuff like if I could work in the US without sponsorship, my citizenship, what programming languages I know, and to describe a programming project. It seemed like they just needed to log that info. After a two-week wait, I got an in-person interview that lasted about 30 minutes. It covered things on my resume and technical topics. The only behavioral question was 'tell us about yourself.' The rest focused on my testing experience and knowledge. I wasn't expecting so many networking questions for an entry-level role, as the job description didn't mention it. The interviewers were really nice, but they were looking for someone with a strong technical background who could start with minimal training, rather than focusing too much on personality. It seems like who you get really matters in terms of what they assess.
