I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at bp (Houston, TX)
Interview
Its a long process. In my case I was applying from the outside, so the vetting can be a little daunting. You could break down the whole thing in three phases:
1. Phone interveiw with to confirm basic information. Very softball questions.
2. Face to face interview with prospective team, panel of four people.
3. Informal lunch gathering to meet additional prospective team members, lighthearted conversations.
I felt that it was very good doing good research on the company. My approach was basic stuff; reading their history on their website, knowing who the CEO was, knowing about previous mergers and aquisitions... nothing fancy really. What made the difference (I think, I could be wrong) was to have a good set of questions to ask. I worked a lot on this, doing mind maps of topics relevant to the role, and managed to get very intelligent talking points into the table with the interview panel. I feel that without this, I would just have been your average interviee...

Question 1
In my case I was moving frm a manager to an analyst role, so the topic about a "step down" was brought forward. Being the elephant in the room, I had my elevator pitch ready... be ready for yours (we all have one.)
Some technical questions were raised, both on the panel and the lunch... but very consistent with the role, so answers and confirmations abounded.
