First stage: Online Psychometric and Personality tests Second Stage: Skype competency based interview Third Stage: Face-to-Face competency based interview Final Stage: Assessment Center. Entire day consisting of individual and group based tasks All in all it was a pleasant, albeit lengthy, process taking about 4/5 months. Standard STAR format questions and the latter assessment center stage was a full day (8:00am - 4:30pm) centered around Exxon getting a better idea of who you are and how you perform individually and as a group in order to see if you match what they are looking for. All of my experience was positive. However, I received an impersonal notification that I had not been successful at the end of the process that did not contain any feedback and was far removed from the attitude I encountered at every other stage of the process. I am however aware of candidates from other years who were able to source feedback from other avenues. No technical questions were asked at any point throughout the process.

Assessment Centre involved: 1) maths based assessment, reviewing data provided. Using the data to make a decision for the company. Followed by an interview with your line manager to discuss your recommendations. 2) technical/competency interview 3)Group exercise, discussing potential scenarios. Decision making as a group. 4)Presentation discussing decisions made
