I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at ExxonMobil (Kuala Lumpur) in Mar 2025
Interview
There were 2 interviews, one virtual and one physical. The virtual interview was very informal and I just discussed about my past experiences. The physical interview had behavioural and technical parts. One advice for the behavioural questions to answer it with the STAR method and provide a very specific example. The more specific the better. The technical questions were not as difficult as expected. You can take a pause to think about it and just answer the best you can.
