Exxon is notorious for their piss poor recruiting process. I have one friend who was told they were getting offers but shortly there after they got another call saying they decided to not extend one afterall. I would say they had one of the worst reps with my class because of how they approached internship recruiting...dragged people along and then gave projects that were not what they were told they were. Then fulltime was even worse...the pay is extremely high but I think only one person I know who got an offer took it and not a single intern went back.
Hmm, that's interesting. They were late to the game, so to speak, at Ross this year due to the big snowstorm, which caused a one-week delay in their interview schedule. I heard that they ding pretty quickly, at least for one of their finance positions. Haven't heard about any offers yet. My interviewer told me that they will expedite the decision-making process this time, since they're already behind, due to the weather.

Chevron on the other hand is pretty solid about it, but it all depends on when they are done interviewing at all schools. They may hand out offers if someone hits it out of the park and will ding quick if you absolutely bomb. Most companies will keep a few in limbo until they are done interviewing. Their rotations can be difficult though. One will be overseas and often another will be outside the bay area in the US. That was one huge negative for me since that many moves was not going to work on a personal level.
I interviewed for their Finance Development Program internship. I was told that I would hear back in about a week. Another person was told 2-3 weeks. So not sure. My interviewer also said that they had more schools to go to.
Fingers crossed.
