Part technical, part soft skills. Asked a lot of past experience questions, nothing out of the ordinary compared to a regular interview. No location preference so most likely will stay in the same location indefinitely.

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at ConocoPhillips (Houston, TX)
Interview
It was a decent interview, typical shuffle between different managers and future work colleagues. I was able to ask questions very candidly and be open.
The questions that managers had were rather insightful, I was surprised at the personal nature of questions that were sometimes asked (showed what I thought was a caring spirit)

Question 1
There were no technical questions. They know your experience and were more interested in who you were rather than what you knew.
