I applied to the graduate scheme online, which was fairly straight forward. This was followed by a Situational Judgement Questionnaire, online tests, telephone interview and technical interview. The telephone interview was straightforward enough, involving competency based questions on such as teamwork and how I've helped others develop. I was also asked why I was interested in Chemistry, why I wanted to work for BP, etc. The interviewer was very friendly and the process was a positive experience. Following this, I was invited to a technical interview at the Pangbourne BP facility. This involved was 90 minutes long and involved being questioned by two BP employees. I found this to be a less positive experience, as one of the interviewers seemed to find the process boring and mocked some of the questions which I found off-putting and it unsettled me a little, meaning I felt less confident once the questions began. The questions weren't too complex, but they involved a lot of understanding of the engineering and hardware of cars and ships, which I didn't know and which I didn't expect I'd need to know. I tried to talk about the chemistry involved in cars and I was steered back to talking about the hardware of a car. I was also asked about shipping regulations, which threw me off a little. I found BP's advice before the interview to be very misleading, as they said no prior knowledge of the industry would be needed. The actual chemistry questions weren't too difficult, with questions about radicals and detergents being asked. It took them a month to get back to me, but I received an apology for this and was given fair feedback on the interview, which was useful.
