I received call from the recruiter and asked me quick questions about me: nationality, location, current employer and availability to interview within these two weeks. Then they gave me the name of the department and the location of the interview and asked me to confirm my attendance with replying that e-mail they sent.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Saudi Aramco (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
Interviewed by a mixed panel of Americans and Saudi auditors via a video conference at around 4am. I applied for an SAP audit role but the questions were more about specialized systems that they have. Prior to the interview, they sent me a list of technical questions that I must answer and submit within a few hours. It was about 10 pages long. They made me work a lot before even talking to me over the video phone. Most of the interviewers were downright rude and were seem to be in the interview panel to demotivate you. They keep saying they have are the best organization and they only hire the best of the best. Worst experience I ever had.
