I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ConocoPhillips (Tulsa, OK) in Feb 2014
Interview
The interview process was started by seeing ConocoPhillips representatives at a job fair. After my resume was considered, I was invited to an interview. The interview was a one on one sit down with a refinery engineer. After a little casual talk and "get-to-know-you" type questions, a line up of 6-8 detailed questions were asked. The questions were largely situational, asking what you did in a certain type of situation. For instance, "How did you deal with a difficult team member holding up a project?" This made the questions difficult because I have not worked in environments with these types of dynamics. If you have not had a full-time, office-type, interpersonal job, it will be difficult to answer the questions with satisfying answers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
When did you go against the rules to accomplish something, and how did you convince others to support that effort?
Were kind and catered towards my location preferences. There were 2 interviewers and the environment seemed open ended. Easy conversation. They asked a few questions about myself, and wanted to know what I am looking to gain in the future.

Question 1
They asked about previous experiences in other internships and why I am exploring other companies.
STAR method interview. Interview held on college campus followed by a second round interview which was broken down into 3 rounds each lasting an hour. Interview was straightforward and the interviewers did a good job at making you feel comfortable.
I interviewed at ConocoPhillips (Midland, TX) in Sep 2023

Very easy on campus interview, was 30 minuets long and it was only behavioral questions. Received a call from a recruiter the next week with an offer letter for an internship.
