They use the STAR method in the initial interview, Situation, Task, Action, Results (look it up), although not everyone is well-trained in it. The emphasis is on your experiences with teams, especially leadership roles, and how you handled conflicts or other problems that arose amongst team members. So, know how to describe these kinds of situations succinctly and clearly. Soft skills are very important for technical positions, so one needs to find a balance between describing their soft skills as well as technical skills. Interviews on site with members of the staff can be more free form and depend on the interests and personality of the individual.

Colloquio
The interview was a full day. I showed up at 8 am and was led around the building to meet some people. I sat with an Earth Scientist for an hour who showed me what he was working on with a modeling program. Afterwards, I was given a presentation that entailed an overview of benefits given by the company. Afterwards, I was interviewed by a panel of 3 which lasted about an hour and a half. Then, I was taken out to lunch. When I returned, I met with another HR rep and then was taken for about an hour ride around town just to be introduced to the area. All in all, a very thorough and enlightening interview.

They wanted to know more about my past work/educational experiences. We discussed what I had done for my thesis and then talked about some software with which I was familiar that they use at that particular office. I think they were just trying to get a feel for my level of competence.

Colloquio
I was picked up from the lobby on time by the hiring team lead. Approx. five interviewers but I sat down with each of them separately. Some questions were generic "why you are leaving"; why you chose Chevron etc; others were unexpected and more technical and specific questions. If I remember correctly, two of the interviewers were the seasoned employees; the other three were fairly young. One manager asked very specific questions about my qualifications / experiences and was very keen in jotting down my answers. I think overal it was a good experience.
