HR and the Discipline Rep (whether that be engineering, geology, accounting, etc) came to the university to interview candidates one on one. The interviewers are quite nice, they try to make you feel at ease and not stressed.

Very formal and non-personal. Asked the standard pre-defined behavioural interview questions. The interview started very late and was rushed through. They did not give the impression they cared and were just going through the formalities.

Cenovus paid for travel to and from the interview and booked me a room at the best hotel in town. The interview involved a Cenovus professional recruiter, and the manager for the posting. The atmosphere was friendly and supportive. I think the most important consideration was whether I would be a good fit in the team. More personality based than technical.
Interview Questions
- One question asked was what salary I expected.
